Insulation & Loft Services FAQs
Thinking about insulation upgrades, loft boarding, or spray foam removal? Our FAQ section covers the key things homeowners want to know before getting started. Explore the answers below to learn more about our process, our standards, and how we can help improve your home.
What types of insulation do you install?
We install a wide range of insulation materials designed to improve energy efficiency, reduce heat loss, and enhance overall comfort in your home. Our most popular options include fibreglass insulation, which is cost-effective, long-lasting, and excellent for lofts, walls, and between-floor applications. We also install mineral wool insulation (Rockwool), known for its outstanding fire resistance, acoustic performance, and breathability, making it ideal for homeowners looking for superior protection. In addition, we offer SuperFOIL insulation, a modern multi-foil solution that delivers high thermal performance while saving valuable space — perfect for lower lofts, conversions, and areas where traditional rolls may not fit.
Each property is different, which is why we tailor our recommendations to your home’s construction, ventilation, and energy-saving goals. Before installing anything, our team carries out a full assessment to ensure the insulation type is appropriate and effective for your specific conditions. All installations are carried out to high industry standards to guarantee optimum performance. Whether you’re looking to reduce energy bills, improve comfort, or prepare for future upgrades, we can recommend and install the ideal insulation solution to suit your home. Our goal is always to enhance efficiency while ensuring your property remains safe, breathable, and compliant with current best practices.
Do I need planning permission to board my loft?
In most cases, planning permission is not required to board your loft, as the work is considered internal and doesn’t change the property’s external appearance or structural integrity. Loft boarding is typically carried out to create safe, usable storage space and to protect insulation, which falls under permitted development. However, there are a few important points to consider before beginning the work, particularly if your home is older or located in a conservation area.
If you live in a listed building, special permissions may apply, as changes to internal structural elements sometimes require approval. Likewise, if you plan to convert your loft into a fully habitable room—such as a bedroom or office—you may need building regulations approval, even though planning permission is often still not required. Standard storage-only boarding does not fall under these rules.
We always assess your loft structure to ensure it can safely support boarding, and we use raised systems that protect your insulation and prevent compression. This ensures your home remains energy-efficient, compliant, and structurally sound. If you are unsure about your property’s requirements, our team can advise you before installation begins. In nearly all standard cases, loft boarding for storage is fully permitted and straightforward to install without any planning permission at all.
Why might insulation need to be removed from my home?
Insulation removal becomes necessary for several important reasons, especially when existing material has deteriorated or become contaminated. Over time, insulation can absorb moisture from roof leaks or condensation, which causes it to lose its thermal performance and can even lead to mould growth. Damp insulation also puts nearby timbers and roof structures at risk of decay. In homes with pest activity, droppings, nesting materials, and damage often make insulation unsafe and unsanitary, requiring complete removal for health reasons.
Another common reason for removal is age. Older insulation often becomes compressed, patchy, or ineffective, making modern replacements far more efficient. Some insulation materials, such as aged fibreglass or damaged mineral wool, shed particles that can worsen indoor air quality. Removing this material ensures your home is safe and ready for a clean, modern installation that delivers proper performance.
Finally, insulation removal is essential during renovation, re-roofing, or when wiring and structural repairs need to be accessed. Removing the insulation creates a clearer, safer working environment for any tradespeople involved. Whether your insulation is old, contaminated, damaged, or simply not performing as it should, professional removal ensures your home is prepared for long-term efficiency and comfort.
What kind of loft ladders do you install?
In most cases, planning permission is not required to board your loft, as the work is considered internal and doesn’t change the property’s external appearance or structural integrity. Loft boarding is typically carried out to create safe, usable storage space and to protect insulation, which falls under permitted development. However, there are a few important points to consider before beginning the work, particularly if your home is older or located in a conservation area.
If you live in a listed building, special permissions may apply, as changes to internal structural elements sometimes require approval. Likewise, if you plan to convert your loft into a fully habitable room—such as a bedroom or office—you may need building regulations approval, even though planning permission is often still not required. Standard storage-only boarding does not fall under these rules.
We always assess your loft structure to ensure it can safely support boarding, and we use raised systems that protect your insulation and prevent compression. This ensures your home remains energy-efficient, compliant, and structurally sound. If you are unsure about your property’s requirements, our team can advise you before installation begins. In nearly all standard cases, loft boarding for storage is fully permitted and straightforward to install without any planning permission at all.
How much can I save by upgrading insulation?
Upgrading your insulation can significantly reduce heat loss, helping your home retain warmth more effectively and reducing the need for constant heating. The exact amount you can save depends on the type of insulation installed, the age of your home, and how much heat was being lost through the loft or walls prior to installation. However, many homeowners experience annual savings of £250 to £600 simply by upgrading inadequate or outdated insulation.
Loft insulation alone can reduce heat loss by up to 25%, making it one of the most cost-effective improvements you can make. Mineral wool, fibreglass, and SuperFOIL insulation each offer unique benefits, from acoustic protection to increased thermal performance. When combined with proper ventilation and airtightness measures, the savings can be even higher.
In addition to lower heating costs, improved insulation reduces wear on your boiler, improves indoor comfort, and helps prevent condensation issues that can damage timbers and plaster. Over time, insulation often pays for itself several times over through reduced energy bills. During our assessment, we can estimate your likely savings based on your home’s condition. For most households, insulation upgrades provide a fast, long-lasting return on investment while making the home warmer, healthier, and more energy-efficient.
Can loft boarding be installed over insulation?
Yes, loft boarding can be safely installed over insulation—as long as the correct raised system is used. Traditional boards placed directly onto joists compress insulation, reducing its effectiveness and allowing heat to escape. We use a raised-loft-boarding system that lifts the boards above the insulation layer, allowing it to maintain full depth and maximum performance. This method also improves airflow, helping prevent condensation problems in the loft space.
Raised systems are essential for modern homes, especially those with thick insulation installed to current energy-efficiency standards. By keeping the insulation free from compression, your home stays warmer and more efficient, and your energy bills remain lower. Raised boarding also protects wiring, ventilation, and pipework, making maintenance easier and reducing the risk of damage.
Our team fully assesses your loft structure to ensure the correct boarding height and system are installed. We create secure, load-bearing platforms ideal for storage, without compromising the insulation’s thermal performance. This combination of insulation and raised boarding offers both practicality and long-term energy savings. So yes—boarding over insulation is possible, but only when installed using the right method to protect your home’s efficiency.
Can I combine multiple services into one project?
Absolutely — many homeowners choose to combine services to save time, reduce disruption, and maximise efficiency. For example, insulation installation is often paired with loft boarding or loft ladder installation, as completing these tasks together ensures everything is properly integrated and optimised. Combining insulation removal with new installation is also common, allowing us to restore your loft in one seamless process rather than splitting the work over multiple visits.
Exterior services such as roof care or power washing can also be scheduled alongside insulation or loft upgrades when appropriate. Our team coordinates the timing, materials, and installation stages to minimise inconvenience and provide a smoother experience for you. Completing multiple services in one project often offers cost benefits too, as labour and setup time can be shared.
We always assess your property to determine the safest and most efficient sequence of work. If combining services will save you time or money, we will always advise you. Whether you want a full insulation upgrade, added loft storage, or improvements to your home’s exterior, we can plan a tailored package that meets your needs and delivers the best long-term results.
Will my home be energy-efficient after insulation?
Yes — upgrading your insulation is one of the most effective ways to improve your home’s energy efficiency. Modern insulation materials significantly reduce heat loss through your loft or roof, helping your home retain warmth for longer and reducing the amount of heating required. This means you will use less energy, your heating system will operate more efficiently, and your home will feel noticeably warmer and more comfortable.
In addition to temperature benefits, improved insulation helps regulate moisture, preventing condensation and protecting roof timbers from long-term damage. This supports the overall health and performance of your home. When combined with loft boarding that protects insulation from compression, you can expect even greater efficiency gains.
Our team installs insulation to recommended depths and ensures that ventilation pathways remain clear, which is essential for both safety and performance. After installation, most homeowners experience lower energy bills, a more stable indoor climate, and a reduction in draughts and cold spots. The result is a home that is more environmentally friendly, cheaper to heat, and better protected for the future.
Why is spray foam removal often required before selling or remortgaging a home?
Spray foam insulation has become one of the leading reasons mortgage lenders refuse applications. While it was originally marketed as a modern, energy-efficient solution, surveyors now treat it as a potential risk because it hides the condition of the roof structure and prevents proper inspection. Lenders rely on surveyors to confirm that the roof timbers are dry, healthy, and structurally sound. When spray foam is bonded tightly to the rafters, underlay, and fixings, the surveyor cannot see behind it or take accurate moisture readings. This creates uncertainty, which is enough for most lenders to decline an application. Even if the property appears to be in good condition, the roof cannot be verified, and lenders will not take on the hidden risk. Spray foam can also block ventilation pathways, leading to trapped moisture, condensation, and long-term timber decay—issues that may not be visible until removal. Because of these concerns, many lenders have introduced strict policies that prevent lending until the spray foam has been professionally removed and the roof has undergone a full inspection. Removing the foam restores visibility and allows the surveyor to provide the clear assessment lenders need.
How does the spray foam removal process work, and will it damage my roof?
Professional spray foam removal is a careful, controlled process designed to protect your roof while safely removing the insulation. At Enviro House, our technicians begin by assessing the type of foam—open-cell or closed-cell—because each requires a different approach. Using specialised tools, we gently separate the foam from the rafters, tiles, and membranes without cutting into the timber or damaging the roof structure. Closed-cell foam is denser and more rigid, so removal requires more precision, but our methods prevent unnecessary structural stress. As the foam is lifted away, we expose ventilation pathways and inspect the underlying materials for signs of trapped moisture, decay, or previous leaks. We also take steps to control debris and prevent dust spread throughout your home. Once the foam is fully removed, we leave the loft clean, breathable, and ready for a surveyor’s inspection. Most roofs suffer no damage during removal—in fact, removal protects your roof by allowing moisture to escape naturally again. If any issues are revealed, such as softened timbers or damp patches, we’ll advise you on the necessary steps to restore the roof before your survey or mortgage application.
