Warmer Homes, Lower Bills, Lasting Efficiency

Up to a quarter of household heat is lost through an uninsulated roof, making loft insulation one of the most effective home insulation services available. Poor attic insulation means heating systems work harder, bills rise unnecessarily, and rooms feel colder than they should.

At Elite Energy, our loft insulation installers provide a complete service across the North. We deliver grant-funded upgrades through ECO4 and GBIS for eligible households, alongside straightforward paid installations with finance options available.

Every project is carried out by our accredited in-house team, using high-performance loft insulation materials designed for decades of thermal efficiency.

Why Loft Insulation Matters for UK Homes

A cold upstairs, rising condensation, and high winter bills are often signs of poor roof insulation. Because heat naturally escapes through the top of a property, uninsulated lofts create an uneven living environment, warm downstairs, cold upstairs, and a heating system constantly struggling to catch up.

Loft insulation services solve these problems by targeting the roof space, where energy loss is at its highest. Proper attic insulation not only reduces wasted heat but also protects against issues like mould growth on cold bedroom walls, draughts through ceilings, and the need to run heating for longer hours.

For many properties, especially those built before modern standards, roof insulation is the quickest and most effective home improvement to raise overall energy efficiency. It supports compliance with EPC regulations, lowers running costs, and makes upper floors more comfortable throughout the year.

Loft Insulation Pricing & Payback

Installing loft insulation is one of the most cost-effective energy upgrades for UK homes. Pricing for private installations starts from £17 per m², with final costs confirmed after a detailed home survey.

Average Installation Costs:

  • Detached: From £1,500 with typical annual savings of £350–£400.

  • Semi-Detached: From £1,000 with typical annual savings of £250–£300.

  • Terraced: From £800 with typical annual savings of £180–£220.

With performance lasting 40 years or more, loft insulation pays for itself multiple times over. On average, households recover the upfront cost within just a few years, then continue to benefit from long-term savings.

For those not looking to pay everything at once, finance options are available to spread the cost into manageable monthly payments.

Government Grants for Loft Insulation

Through the ECO4 scheme and the Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS), many households can secure free loft insulation. Both programmes are designed to improve energy efficiency, reduce heating bills, and make homes warmer for the long term.

For most households that qualify, loft insulation is supplied and installed free of charge, with the rare exception of partial funding where a reduced contribution may be needed.

ECO4 Scheme

Targeted at low-income and vulnerable households, ECO4 typically covers the full cost of loft insulation, including surveys and installation.

ECO4

GBIS Scheme

Offers broader eligibility, helping households in specific council tax bands or with lower EPC ratings. In most cases, the installation is fully funded, though some households may contribute a small share of the cost.

How We Install Loft Insulation

Every installation is handled by Elite Energy’s accredited in-house team, ensuring safety, efficiency, and long-term thermal performance. The process is straightforward and typically completed within a single day.

  • 1

    Survey & Assessment

    A trained surveyor inspects your loft, checks insulation depth, ventilation, accessibility, and flags any damp or structural issues before work begins.

  • 2

    Preparation

    Protective coverings are laid, access routes are made safe, and any necessary floor areas are cleared to create a suitable working environment.

  • 3

    Insulation Installation

    High-performance materials are fitted between and across joists to reach the recommended 270mm depth. Gaps are sealed and tanks or pipes are insulated where required.

  • 4

    Finishing & Final Checks

    Walkways are reinstated, ventilation points are confirmed clear, and the loft is inspected to ensure full coverage and compliance with industry standards.

Benefits of Loft Insulation Beyond Energy Savings

Uninsulated roofs cause unique issues that affect comfort, health, and property conditions. Professional loft insulation resolves them at the source:

Cold Draughts Through Ceilings

Cold Draughts Through Ceilings

Heat naturally rises, so without roof insulation, warmth escapes straight through ceilings and leaves living spaces below chilly.

Hard-To-Use Loft Conversions

Hard-To-Use Loft Conversions

Converted attics often become unusable in winter or stifling in summer,  insulation makes them viable, comfortable rooms all year round.

Condensation in Roof Spaces

Condensation in Roof Spaces

Warm air meeting cold roof timbers leads to damp and mould in lofts. Loft insulation stabilises roof temperature and reduces this risk.

Uneven Heating Between Floors

Uneven Heating Between Floors

Homes with poor attic insulation often feel warm downstairs but cold upstairs. Roof insulation balances thermal performance across the property.

Lost Storage Space Due To Heat Loss

Using lofts for storage without proper insulation can worsen energy waste. Insulation allows homeowners to keep lofts functional while minimising losses.

Noise From Heavy Rain or Wind

Roof insulation softens external sound transmission, creating quieter upstairs rooms in stormy weather.

Frequently Asked Questions

We have tried to answer most questions here but if you have any other queries please feel free to contact us!

How long does loft insulation last once installed?

High-quality loft insulation can remain effective for 40 years or more. When installed by accredited loft insulation installers, the materials resist sagging and moisture damage, ensuring decades of performance with no maintenance required.

Can I still use my loft for storage after insulation is fitted?

Yes. If you plan to store items in the loft, we can raise or board the loft floor above the insulation. This ensures insulation depth is maintained while keeping your loft usable for everyday storage.

What materials are used in loft insulation?

We primarily install mineral wool rolls for their proven thermal insulation and fire-safety performance. Depending on your property, alternative loft insulation materials such as blown cellulose or rigid boards can also be recommended during the survey.

Will loft insulation make my home too hot in summer?

No. Loft insulation regulates heat transfer, meaning it keeps heat inside during winter and blocks excessive heat from entering during summer.

Is loft insulation disruptive to install?

Installation is quick and low-impact. Our team works entirely within the loft space, so living areas remain unaffected. Most installs are completed in under a day, with little disruption to your household.

Do I need to remove old or damaged loft insulation?

If your loft already has outdated or compacted insulation, our installers will assess whether it should be topped up or removed. Damaged insulation is removed before new materials are laid, ensuring maximum thermal performance.
