Without Loft insulation you could be losing 15% of your heating costs. Loft insulation acts like a blanket, trapping heat rising from the house below. Current recommended depth of insulation is 270mm.
Advantages: Loft insulation can be carried out as a DIY task or by a professional installer. There are grants and offers available to help you pay for loft insulation. Many types of material available, rolls of fibreglass, sheeps wool, paper including boards that can be walked on.
Disadvantages: Need to be able to access roof space.
Cost: £500 (DIY £250) Grants are available.
Estimated annual £ saving: £ 110 if no insulation already
