Stop the Heat (and Your Money) Escaping Through Your Roof!
You could be losing up to a third of the heat in your house through your roof. Loft insulation can cut this right down. Professional installation now costs from £199 for most houses. So the payback on your investment is normally very quick.
The recommended depth for insulation is at least 270mm. If you currently have insulation that is less thick than this you may consider adding another layer, although the payback time is longer.
There are various materials that you can use to insulate your loft. Most frequently used is mineral wool, although you can now use real wool if you want a natural alternative.
How it is installed?
You can install loft insulation yourself, or use a contractor which is often cheaper because of government grants. It should cost around £199 to £250 (for larger houses), but recover this cost within a year through reduced heating bills.
What should I do next?
A contractor is often cheaper than DIY, because of the grants that you can access to.

You can also find materials and installation advice at most DIY stores or builders merchants.
