It’s that time of year again, time to start thinking about heating bills & checking your existing loft insulation is up to the new regulations requirements of 330mm, given that we have just had Christmas and the decorations should be going back in the loft any moment there’s no excuse not to check.
Ensure Your Loft Insulation Meets Current Regulations
With the government’s green home scheme still running until 2027 with VAT Notice 708/6, it gives a real incentive to properly insulate loft space, to save on energy bills & help do your bit for climate change. With VAT notice 708/6, you pay 0% VAT on the entire job, saving a nice 20% on top of the savings on energy bills.
1. Compliance with Building Regulations
This job was recently completed in Horley, Surrey
This job was a 270mm top-up. They had 100mm existing, and now their total build-up is 370mm, exceeding current building regulation requirements.
Benefits:
- Energy Savings: Proper insulation reduces heat loss, cutting down on energy bills.
- Regulation Compliance: Exceed building standards for insulation thickness.
- Environmental Impact: Reduce your carbon footprint by improving energy efficiency.
2. Raised Storage Area
We also fitted a 300mm raised storage area using the Loft Legs system. This allows for proper ventilation underneath the OSB3 boards and doesn’t crush the insulation, preserving its U value.
Features:
- Ventilation: Ensures airflow beneath the storage boards for optimal insulation performance.
- Durability: OSB3 boards provide a strong and stable storage surface.
- Space Efficiency: Maximise loft storage without compromising insulation effectiveness.
3. Long-Term Investment
Upgrading your loft insulation is a smart long-term investment for reducing heating costs and maintaining a comfortable home environment.
Our Process:
- Inspection: We check your loft’s current insulation and storage setup to recommend the best solutions.
- Installation: Careful fitting ensures the insulation meets or exceeds current standards without compromising storage options.
- Final Touches: We complete the job with a professional finish, ensuring lasting performance and satisfaction.
