Did you know ...
around a quarter of heat is lost through your roof in an uninsulated home
The recommended minimum loft insulation is 270 mm (around 11 inches). However, a third of homes with lofts have less than 125 mm. This is one of the most common heat loss areas that we have identified during our energy surveys, in particular in homes that are over 30 years old.
The good news ...
Adding loft insulation is a simple step to take to make your home warmer. If you are reasonably fit and have access to your loft, then you can install loft insulation yourself. EARR has already helped over 80 households improve their own loft insulation.
There is plenty of guidance available online, from instruction booklets to videos. We have included some links at the bottom of the page.
The Even Better News ...
EARR is supporting a Surrey-wide scheme that offers up to 6 rolls of loft insulation free of charge* to eligible households. The criteria is simple:
Your home currently has 150mm or less loft insulation
There is access to your loft to install loft insulation
*The offer is free of charge to households in council tax bands A to D.
If you are in council tax band E or F you can receive loft insulation at £10 per roll. If you are in council tax band G+ you can receive loft insulation at £20 per roll.
To access this offer, if you live in East Surrey (Reigate & Banstead or Tandridge), please contact Energy Action Redhill and Reigate to book a Loft Check. Contact us via info@earr.co.uk or call 07707 533587.
If you live in Central or West Surrey please contact Zero Carbon Guildford.
