Our services cater to various property types, including residential homes and commercial buildings, using materials such as fibreglass, foam board, and blown-in insulation. Contact us today to see how we can help optimise your home's insulation.
How Much Does Home Insulation Cost?
Home insulation typically costs between £20 and £50 per m², depending on factors such as the type of insulation, property size, and access difficulties. The variability in cost can also be influenced by the R-value of the material, which measures thermal resistance: the higher the R-value, the more effective the insulation at retaining heat.
Fibreglass insulation is often at the lower end of the scale and is commonly used for its ease of installation and good performance in walls and attics. On the other hand, spray foam insulation provides excellent air sealing and moisture barrier properties, making it ideal for roofs and hard-to-reach spaces, but it tends to be more expensive due to the material's density and application method.
Our experts can provide an accurate quote after assessing your specific needs and property details, measuring your space with precision to ensure cost-effective installation. Get in touch with us for a personalised estimate that meets the thermal efficiency requirements of your home.
What Types of Home Insulation Are Available?
We offer a variety of home insulation types to meet your specific needs and enhance energy efficiency:
Fibreglass Insulation: Commonly used for attics and walls, fibreglass insulation offers excellent resistance against fire and moisture. It is typically installed in batts or rolls, making it a versatile choice for both new and retrofitting projects.
Foam Board Insulation: Provides high thermal resistance and is often used in wall sheathing beneath siding. Foam boards are available in different materials such as polyurethane and polystyrene, each offering varying degrees of performance and durability.
Spray Foam Insulation: Great for hard-to-reach areas, this type expands on application, creating an airtight seal that reduces drafts and moisture ingress. It is especially effective for insulating basements and crawl spaces, adhering to surfaces rapidly and forming a continuous barrier.
Blown-In Insulation: Ideal for irregular or uneven spaces, blown-in insulation made of cellulose or fibreglass particles can effortlessly fill gaps and cavities. This method is often used for retrofitting older buildings, significantly improving thermal performance without the need to remove existing structures.
Each option has its advantages and specific application methods. We can conduct an assessment to help you select the best type for your home and ensure optimal insulation performance.
How Long Does Home Insulation Installation Take?
Most home insulation projects take one to three days, depending on the size of your property and the type of insulation installed. Larger properties or complex installations might extend the timeframe.
For instance, installing blown-in cellulose insulation in attic spaces is typically quicker than fitting rigid foam boards into wall cavities. We use specialist equipment such as thermal imaging cameras to ensure precise insulation placement and avoid gaps, enhancing energy efficiency.
Additionally, consideration is given to existing structural components such as HVAC systems, which may necessitate adjustments during installation. Our experienced team works efficiently and aims to reduce any potential disruption to your daily routine by planning meticulously around your schedule and weather conditions.

What Are the Benefits of Home Insulation?
Installing home insulation provides numerous advantages by enhancing thermal performance and energy efficiency. Choosing from a variety of materials such as mineral wool, fibreglass, or spray foam insulation helps in addressing specific needs, such as soundproofing or moisture resistance.
For instance, using closed-cell spray foam can add structural support and create an air-tight seal, perfect for attics and loft spaces.
Reduces energy bills by preventing heat loss, as insulation materials like fibreglass trap warmth within the property during winter.
Improves indoor comfort levels year-round by maintaining a consistent temperature, reducing reliance on heating and cooling systems.
Decreases carbon footprint by improving energy efficiency, aligning with building regulations and eco-friendly standards like the UK Green Homes Grant.
Increases property value and marketability, making homes more appealing to environmentally conscious buyers.
