Keeping the heat in

Simple ways to make your home warmer and save you money.

Is your home losing heat?

Through the roof

A poorly insulated loft can let out up to 25% of your heat.

Through the walls

Around 35% of your home’s warmth could be escaping this way.

Through floors, windows, and doors

These smaller gaps add up to big heat loss.

A good place to start is by checking your home’s Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), which can give insights into your walls, roof, and insulation.

Did you know your home could be losing up to 25% of its heat through the roof and 35% through the walls? That’s heat you’re paying for - only for it to escape!

The good news? With just a few upgrades, you can make your home warmer, more comfortable, and cheaper to run, without needing to crank up the heating.

With rising energy costs, keeping your home warm while reducing your heating bills is more important than ever.

Insulation is one of the simplest, most effective ways to improve energy efficiency. It helps keep warmth inside during the winter and can prevent overheating in the summer.

Why insulation matters

Insulation reduces the need to have the heating on.

Not sure where to start?

Improving your home’s energy efficiency doesn’t have to be done in one go - insulation is a great first step. Not sure what’s the right option for you? We’ll talk you through these options in detail, and help you decide.

Did you know?

Loft insulation - the quickest fix

Loft insulation is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to reduce heat loss and lower your bills.

What is it? Insulation material is laid between the wooden joists of your loft floor.

I already have loft insulation. How do I know if it’s effective? Ideally, you’d have an even coverage of insulation at least 270mm deep.

What if I use my loft for storage? You could have a small boarded area, or use raised boards to store belongings above your insulation.

"We had loft and cavity wall insulation done. My kids feel much happier waking up in a warm house, especially during the cold, dark winter days. The bedrooms always used to be cold first thing, but we now notice the difference when we wake up in the mornings."

Other ways to keep the heat in

Wall insulation

Up to 35% of your home's heat can be lost through the walls. Insulating them can make a huge difference to warmth and energy bills.

Solid walls - Typically found in older homes, these usually need insulation added inside or outside the property.

Cavity walls - These are more common in homes built after the 1920s and can be filled with insulation to trap warmth inside.

Your EPC might tell you what type of walls you have.

Floor insulation

If you have wooden floors, insulation underneath can stop cold draughts and make your home feel cosier. It’s a bigger job but can be worth it.

If you’re moving into a new house or doing a ground floor renovation, then it can be a good time to install it.

Roof insulation

If your loft is a useable space (such as a home office or bedroom), loft floor insulation won’t be enough.

You’ll also need room-in-roof insulation (ceilings and stud walls) to keep the space warm.

Windows and doors

Windows lose less heat than walls and roofs, but if you have single glazing, upgrading to double or triple glazing can make a real difference.

If this is out of budget then draught-proofing your doors and windows is a quick, low-cost fix too!

Red, gold and green! Using thermal imaging to inform decisions

A thermal imaging camera can be a great way to quickly identify where heat is escaping your home. They are easy to use, handheld devices that show you where heat may be escaping your home.

The Great British Insulation Scheme - can you get support?

Worried about the cost of insulation? You might not have to pay the full cost! The Great British Insulation Scheme is one of several government initiatives designed to help homeowners and tenants improve their home insulation at a reduced cost - or even for free. The scheme is aimed at making homes warmer, more energy efficient, and cheaper to heat.

If you're eligible, you could receive funding, helping you cut your energy bills without the upfront cost.

As part of our service, we can help you check to see if you’re eligible and navigate the application process for this and other government funded schemes.
