Thermal Insulation Specialists

Thermal insulation companies work in both the commercial and residential markets, providing a variety of thermal insulation services including supplying and fitting thermal insulation for pipes and fittings, vessels, boilers, ductwork and tanks. For many homes, thermal insulation specialists can supply and install loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, thermal cladding for heating pipework and if needed, a range of insulation coatings for solid walls. 

Loft Insulation

A quarter of the heat loss in an uninsulated home is lost through the roof! Insulating your loft is an easy and cost-effective way to lower your energy costs, and it is something you can do yourself. Loft insulation is worth the money as it can last at least 40 years keeping your home nice and warm and your bills low. Even if your loft is already insulated, it is worth double-checking to ensure you are getting the most out of your insulation. You can easily do it yourself if your loft is easy to reach and has no damp or condensation issues, all you need is rolls of mineral wool insulation. To do this, lay the first layer between the joists, then a second layer at the right angles to cover the joists and insulate to the appropriate depth. 

Wall Insulation 

In the UK, a third of the heat lost in an uninsulated house escapes through the windows, and the colder it is outside, the faster heat from your home escapes through your walls. Insulation is installed in most houses built after the 1990s, but you may have to check older home as it is likely they do not have any insulation at all. Insulating the walls of a house with cavity walls could save you up to £140 per year. In the UK, most homes have either solid or cavity walls. A cavity wall is made up of two walls with a gap between them, while a solid wall has no gap. Cavity walls are most likely to be seen in homes constructed after the 1920s.

Some homes, such as steel-frame and timber-frame structures, and houses built of prefabricated concrete, do not have a cavity to fill, but they can be insulated; however, insulating a non-standard wall may require the services of a professional.

Loft and Cavity Wall Insulation- How much does it cost?

For the average three-bedroom home with gas central heating, installing loft insulation will cost around £300. This can be earnt back in just two years with how much you will save on heating. A cavity wall insulation would cost around £750 for a typical detached house and around £350 for a terraced house, with savings expected to cover the cost within 5 years.
