Find professional loft insulation experts near you

Fun fact: If your house is uninsulated, about a quarter of the heat that escapes from the house is lost through the roof. This is why loft insulation is essential, as it promotes energy efficiency by keeping the right amount of warmth in your space, whether it’s winter or summer. Moreover, it adds some sense of privacy as in some cases, the insulation becomes a sound barrier, reducing the noise that enters your loft. Ultimately, loft insulation adds value to your property.

Undecided in booking a Tasker? Here’s a closer look at the loft insulation service:

Loft insulation

Before a loft insulation session, it helps to clear your space for easy access, identify wirings, and perform necessary quick repairs, if possible. Your Tasker is expected to bring the needed tools depending on the type of insulation you requested, or as assessed by the expert. The most common type is the blanket insulation, which as its name suggests, covers the area in a blanket-like manner. This process involves insulation rolls (easy-to-cut that’s better at filling gaps) or batts (pre-cut rectangular pieces that are easier to install). 

Meanwhile, loose-fill insulation—also known as blown-in insulation—usually helps oddly-shaped places. It utilises fibreglass (easily available), cellulose (made of recycled paper), or rock wool (ideal for resisting fire and unpleasant elements).

Other types of loft insulation include spray foam insulation, sheet loft insulation, and more. Get connected with a Tasker and find the best process for your property ASAP. With the platform, you can rely on someone knowledgeable to do the job for you, from laying the first insulation layer in between the joists or beams, to keeping you secured with the finished product.

Loft hatch insulation

Loft hatches are often treated as a not-so-secret magical portal in many coming-of-age movies. While it seems like a tiny spot in a big property, keeping it in tip-top shape is integral for your structure’s health, energy-efficiency, sustainability, and even prevents condensation buildup. It’s important not to overlook the hatch to avoid heating or cooling costs to spike, and achieve the most comfortable space possible.
