Expert Insulation Services for Your Home

First-time central heating installation is a major upgrade for homes that have never had a central heating system before. It typically involves installing a boiler, radiators, pipework, and controls, and can significantly improve energy efficiency, comfort, and property value—especially in homes previously heated with electric heaters, open fires, or portable systems.

Cavity wall insulation is a method of improving a home's energy efficiency by filling the gap (cavity) between two layers of brick in external walls. It helps reduce heat loss by up to 35%, lowering heating costs and improving comfort.

Loft insulation is a cost-effective way to reduce heat loss in your home, lower energy bills, and improve comfort. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you understand its benefits, types, installation methods, costs, and available grants.

• Energy Efficiency: Reduces heat loss, leading to lower heating requirements.
   
• Cost Savings: Can save homeowners up to £300 annually on heating bills.
   
• Environmental Impact: Decreases carbon footprint by reducing energy consumption.

External wall insulation (EWI) involves applying a layer of insulating material to the outside walls of a building, then covering it with a protective render or cladding. It's an effective way to improve energy efficiency, especially for homes with solid walls

• Homes with solid walls or poor insulation.
   
• Buildings with poor internal space (internal insulation would reduce room sizes).
   
• Properties needing external renovation anyway.

Internal wall insulation (IWI) is a method of insulating the inside surface of external walls, particularly useful for solid wall homes where cavity wall insulation isn’t an option. It improves energy efficiency, reduces heat loss, and can lower heating bills—though it comes with some trade-offs.

• Improves thermal comfort—reduces heat loss through cold solid walls.
   
• Reduces heating bills (up to £250–£400/year for a detached home).
   
• Can be done room by room, ideal during renovation or redecoration.
   

A room in the roof refers to a converted loft or attic space that’s been turned into a usable room—such as a bedroom, office, or storage area. These spaces often need specific insulation and ventilation measures to meet building regulations and ensure energy efficiency and comfort.

• Reduces heat loss significantly (loft rooms can be draughty and cold).
   
• Cuts energy bills.
   
• Improves comfort—warmer in winter, cooler in summer.
   
• Meets modern building regulations for thermal performance.
   

Replacing a boiler is a key home upgrade that can improve energy efficiency, reduce heating costs, and enhance comfort—especially if your current boiler is over 10–15 years old, inefficient, or unreliable.
Energy savings up to £300–£400/year
