Insulation — Merseyside

Roof & Loft Insulation Specialists Across Merseyside

We work across the whole of Merseyside — Churchtown, Southport, Crosby, Liverpool, Ormskirk, Maghull, Hightown, Ainsdale and Birkdale — offering honest insulation advice as part of a proper roofing survey, not as an isolated sales pitch.

Unlike many insulation-only companies, we assess your roof as a whole — and we’ll tell you clearly which materials are genuinely worth it, and which, like spray foam, we simply won’t install, regardless of what it might save on the quote.

Materials compared

What Your Roof Can Be Insulated With

Honest costs and where each material actually makes sense — including the one we won’t use:

Material	Typical cost	Best for
Mineral wool (glass/rock wool)	Quoted after survey	Standard loft insulation, cost-effective, fire-safe, most common choice
PIR rigid boards	Quoted after survey	Space-restricted areas such as between rafters, higher thermal performance per inch
Reflective foil	Quoted after survey	Shallow roof spaces, radiant heat control
Spray foam	Quoted after survey	We do not recommend this — see our warning guide below

⚠ A Warning About Spray Foam Insulation

We do not install spray foam insulation, and we’d strongly advise against anyone doing so. It’s currently causing serious problems for UK homeowners — an estimated 250,000+ properties may now be effectively unmortgageable because of it, and RICS has issued formal guidance advising surveyors to flag it.

Common questions

Roof & Loft Insulation — Frequently Asked Questions

How much insulation does my loft actually need?

Current Building Regs recommend a minimum of 270mm of mineral wool insulation (or the equivalent in other materials) for a typical loft. Many older Merseyside properties have significantly less than this, sometimes as little as 50-100mm from decades ago.

Why won't you install spray foam?

Spray foam can trap moisture against roof timbers, prevent proper ventilation, and make it impossible for surveyors to inspect the roof structure — leading to widespread mortgage and resale problems across the UK. We don't believe it's in your long-term interest.

Are there grants available for insulation?

Some households may qualify for support through schemes like ECO4 or the Great British Insulation Scheme, particularly those on certain benefits. Eligibility rules change, so we'd recommend checking current criteria directly.

Will insulation stop condensation in my loft?

Insulation and ventilation work together, not against each other. Poorly installed insulation that blocks airflow can actually worsen condensation. We assess ventilation as part of any insulation job.

Can insulation be added at the same time as a re-roof or repair?

Yes, and it's often the most sensible time to do it, since we're already assessing and accessing the roof structure. Worth mentioning when you book any roofing survey.
