With up to 25% of your home’s heat can escape through an uninsulated roof which means higher bills and a colder home.
With rising energy costs across the UK, loft insulation is one of the most effective and affordable upgrades you can make to your home.
For Nottingham homeowners, where older housing stock is common, upgrading loft insulation can make a noticeable difference almost immediately.
Spray foam insulation is no longer recommended for most lofts in the UK due to increasing concerns from mortgage lenders and surveyors.
It can:

Loft insulation works by trapping heat inside your home and slowing down heat transfer through your roof.
Without insulation, warm air rises and escapes quickly. With properly installed insulation, heat is retained for longer — meaning your home stays warmer using less energy.
Modern insulation materials create a thermal barrier that:
Choosing the right loft insulation in Nottingham depends on your property type, loft structure, and energy efficiency goals. The best insulation will reduce heat loss, improve your EPC rating, and help lower energy bills long-term.
Below are the most effective loft insulation options we install across Nottingham homes, each suited to different requirements.
Knauf Loft Roll is one of the most widely used loft insulation materials in Nottingham and across the UK. Made from high-quality glass mineral wool, it is designed to fit between and over loft joists, helping homes achieve the recommended 270mm insulation depth for improved energy efficiency.
This type of loft insulation is ideal for upgrading older properties or topping up existing insulation that no longer meets modern standards.
Best suited for: standard loft spaces and homeowners looking for reliable, budget-friendly insulation
ACTIS Hybris is a high-performance insulation system designed for homes where space is limited or where enhanced thermal efficiency is required. Its unique honeycomb structure traps air effectively, reducing heat transfer while maintaining airtightness.
Unlike traditional loft insulation materials, ACTIS Hybris delivers strong performance in thinner layers, making it ideal for loft conversions or properties with restricted space.
Best suited for: loft conversions, modern homes, or properties needing high-performance insulation in tighter spaces
SuperFOIL is an advanced multi-layer loft insulation system that works by reflecting radiant heat back into your home. It is commonly used in Nottingham properties where space is restricted or as part of a combined insulation system.
Its slim profile allows effective insulation without significantly reducing usable loft space, making it ideal for both upgrades and conversions.
Best suited for: space-restricted lofts or homeowners looking to maximise insulation without losing usable space

Loft insulation can reduce heat loss by up to 25%, helping to lower energy bills and improve overall efficiency. By preventing warm air from escaping through the roof, it reduces the need for constant heating throughout the year.
The best type of loft insulation depends on your loft structure, budget, and ventilation. Common options include mineral wool and rigid board insulation, both offering strong thermal performance and long-lasting energy efficiency benefits.
Most loft insulation installations are completed within a few hours, depending on the size of the loft and the condition of any existing insulation. Larger or more complex projects may take longer.
Standard loft insulation does not affect mortgages or property surveys. However, spray foam insulation can cause issues with lenders and may need to be removed before a sale, remortgage, or valuation is approved. We can help with spray foam removal.
In many cases, existing insulation can be topped up to improve performance. However, damaged, damp, or compressed insulation may need to be removed first to ensure the new installation works effectively.
Yes, loft insulation is especially effective in older properties where heat loss is more common. It helps improve energy efficiency, reduce heating costs, and create a more comfortable indoor temperature throughout the year.
Yes, loft insulation helps prevent heat from escaping through the roof, making your home warmer in winter and more comfortable overall. It also reduces the amount of energy needed to maintain a consistent temperature.
Yes, upgrading loft insulation can improve your EPC rating by reducing heat loss and increasing energy efficiency. This can make your property more attractive to buyers and help lower long-term energy costs. See our full range of energy efficiency services.
We cover Nottingham and surrounding areas including West Bridgford, Beeston, Arnold, Mansfield, Newark and nearby locations, providing professional loft insulation services across the region.
We had the hybris loft insulation. The free call helped to understand the situation in our loft. The fitters were friendly and the job was done efficiently. We can feel a difference within the air already, looking forward to more benefits.
Guys turned up early … great start! Got on with insulating all the attics, not a pleasant job. Took everything away in plastic bags. Cleaned up after themselves. Weren’t demanding … a nice bunch. Thank you
From start to finish the whole process was quick, clean, easy and affordable. Clean and efficient fitting.
I would certainly recommend GLSR Solutions.
