SuperQuilt multifoil insulation
A/A+ fire ratedWhere a West Drayton loft has already been converted, insulation has to follow the rafters rather than the floor. SuperQuilt does that in 40mm instead of the 200mm-plus a wool build-up would need.

Loft insulation in West Drayton
Cold upstairs rooms and a heating bill that keeps climbing usually have the same cause, and in West Drayton it is very often the roof. We survey the loft free of charge, measure what is genuinely up there, and quote a fixed price to bring it up to standard.

Why it matters
The case for insulating your West Drayton loft
25%of a home's heat is lost through an uninsulated roof

90%less radiant heat loss with SuperQuilt multifoil
Put against current energy prices, a West Drayton loft still carrying 100mm of settled wool is costing its owner money every single winter it stays that way.
West Drayton's homes
Heat loss in West Drayton: where it goes
In a typical West Drayton property built during the 1880s through the 1930s, the roof accounts for the largest single share of heat loss of any element in the building envelope. Warm air rises, the ceiling is thin, and above it sits a ventilated void at close to outdoor temperature for most of the winter.
The good news is that this is the cheapest part of the fabric to improve, by a long way. Wall insulation is disruptive and expensive. Window replacement is a major capital cost. Loft insulation is a day's work with materials that cost very little relative to what they save, and it needs no permissions of any kind.
The one local caveat: the 1930s suburban expansion here produced thousands of near-identical semis, which means the same loft problems repeat street after street. We factor that in at survey stage.

Five ways we keep West Drayton homes warm
Every one of these begins with the same free survey and ends with a fixed price agreed before anything starts.
Loft insulation installation
270mm depthMineral wool cross-laid to the 270mm depth current regulations recommend. For most West Drayton homes this is the single highest-value thing you can do to the building.
Loft boarding
Storage-readyA squared, edged deck reached from the hatch, with the eaves left open so the roof keeps breathing. Sized to what you will actually use rather than the whole West Drayton footprint.
Loft ladders
Fitted in a dayMany older West Drayton hatches are too small for a ladder to swing through safely. We measure at survey and price any enlargement up front rather than on the day.
Loft makeovers
All-in-oneThe whole loft dealt with at once, for one fixed price. Most West Drayton properties are finished within a day.

Questions & answers
West Drayton loft insulation — common questions
What insulation depth do you fit?
The recommended 270mm, achieved in two layers: the first between the joists, the second laid across them to eliminate the cold bridge through the timber. Skipping that second cross-lay is one of the most common shortcuts in the trade.
Do I need planning permission in West Drayton?
Not for insulation, boarding or a ladder. The line falls at conversion — turning the loft into a habitable room — which is a structural job requiring building control sign-off and a different trade entirely.
How much does loft insulation cost in West Drayton?
We price West Drayton jobs after a free survey, itemised so you can see what the insulation, any boarding and any removal each cost. There is no call-out charge and the figure does not move once it is written. The London cost guide explains what drives it.
What happens to the water tank and pipes?
Insulating the loft floor makes everything above it colder, including your tank and pipework. Lagging is therefore part of the work rather than an optional extra, and we will point out anything that looks like it will need attention.
Will this improve my EPC rating?
Very likely. Without documentation an assessor will often default to a pessimistic assumption about what is in the loft, so we make sure you have the paperwork to show them.
Will insulating my loft cause damp?
Not if it is done properly. Insulating the floor makes the roof space colder, so moisture condenses more readily — the defence is the ventilation path at the eaves. Blocking it with insulation is what creates damp lofts. We keep it clear on every job. Our ventilation guide explains the mechanism.
