Reduce Your Carbon Footprint

One crucial step we can all take to help the climate is to lower our carbon emissions. This can be easily achieved by cutting down on your energy consumption – which is often easier said than done. Effective loft insulation provides a simple and effective way to reduce your reliance on your central heating systems.

Cut Down on Your Energy Bills

One of the biggest advantages of getting sustainable insulation installed is the fact that it can dramatically reduce your energy bills. By retaining as much heat within your home as possible, insulation can keep your central heating system use in check. After feeling the many other benefits of insulation, you will be pleasantly surprised to find up to £315 shaved off your monthly energy bills!

Warmer Home in Winter

With sustainable loft insulation installed, you’ll quickly feel how much warmer your home feels during frosty weather, even when the heating is off. With some especially chilly winters forecast (even by York’s standards), it’s important to keep your family and valuables protected with cutting-edge loft insulation.

Cooler Home in Summer

It’s not all about heating until your home reaches boiling point, as that’s no use to anyone. In fact, effective loft insulation will keep your home cooler in summer. There’s no need to worry about overheating when the outside temperature gets warmer, as our sustainable loft insulation materials have permeable layers for ventilation and cool airflow.

Reduce Mould and Condensation

Humidity and moisture in the air can cause condensation and eventually mould growth in the cooler, damper areas of your property. You may find it on windows, corners, partitions, bathroom tiles, and other places. Since our insulation products reduce humidity by purifying the air throughout your home, they can help put a stop to mould and condensation.

Increase the Value of Your Home on Resale

Installing sustainable insulation can increase the resale value of your home. York agents and buyers love a house with all furnishings and features pre-installed, as it’s less work for them to deal with. Having sustainable loft insulation installed by trained professionals is definitely a bonus!

Which? Trusted Trader Installation Standards

Our team of expert insulation contractors have been approved by a number of organisations, including Which? and Green Deal. Having worked very hard over many years to earn these accreditations, we’re proud to offer a consistently excellent service.

Loft Insulation Overview

Insulation is the process of retaining heat within an enclosed space. Think of your house as a cooking pot. Keeping a ventilated lid on will keep all the flavour inside while allowing some air to breathe out to regulate the temperature and prevent the food from overheating. Too much vapour escaping can create condensation, so it’s all about striking a good balance.

From the initial call to the completion of the job, it’s been a pleasure to deal with RJ Insulation. After the survey, we were given a quote almost straight away but no hard sell or pressure attached to it. The date for installation was agreed. Two lovely guys turned up to fit the foil in the loft, both were very polite and courteous at all times. Dust sheets were put down and they hoovered up at the end of the job both days. I would recommend this company to anyone who’s thinking of having new loft insulation put in. You won’t get better than this, genuine people that take pride in what they do, a rare commodity these days.

R&J completed a loft conversion project for me in September 2021. From pre-sale to implementation, the experience of doing business with them was exemplary. Ron led us through a thorough, inclusive design process, where he and Max offered polite suggestions based on their experience, but always ensured we were getting exactly what we wanted. The statement of work and price breakdown were crystal clear, and they stayed in constant communication until the job was complete. Max and the rest of the install team carried out extremely high quality work, with great care and consideration, and the end result was absolutely perfect. It is clear that the whole team takes pride in the quality of the outcome they deliver, and it was an absolute pleasure to use their service. I would highly recommend R&J to anyone considering any kind of loft conversion work, they will not let you down.

Cannot fault the team at all. From start to end, nothing but amazing service. From quotation to updates on installation from Ron and Ross. To Max and his team turning up to carrying out the work. Treated our home like theirs. Friendly, polite and great workmanship all the way. We are so pleased with the results. Highly recommended the team.

We recently moved to a new property with a walk in loft plus a shallow loft at the apex of the house. The walk in loft was very draughty especially in windy weather. We could also hear every word spoken in the loft clearly in the kitchen/rooms below. We thought the SuperFOIL product would be perfect, as we’d read that many mortgage companies will not give a mortgage on foam products fitted between the joists making the property hard to sell. We contacted R J Insulations and were impressed with their Surveyors (initial quote and follow up prior to installation) and with the communication from the sales office. The installation team (3 guys) were brilliant. So organised. They prepared our house with sheeting to cover walkways, were informative about every stage of the installation and were so polite. The installation took 2 days. We had SuperFOIL on the joists in the walk in loft and SupaSoft between the rafters and also SupaSoft between the rafters in the apex loft space. The first thing we noticed was the reduction in noise – the SupaSoft

    FAQs

    York Loft Insulation Installation FAQs

    While there are some factors to consider when recommending how much loft insulation to install, there are some industry standards to abide by. In York, the minimum amount of insulation material required for a loft is 250mm of thickness. If you have newer material stacked on top of the older insulation and it all adds up to this figure, it should be okay. If you have loft insulation installed that’s below the required standards, you can get it topped up with any material of your choice. 

    Different insulation materials have different expiration dates, but all of our sustainable loft insulation products have extremely long lifespans. Lambswool, recycled plastic and multifoil loft insulation will last the entire lifespan of a household, which is why we offer guarantees based on the longevity of your York property. 

    60 years is the minimum expected lifespan for our loft insulation products, which may not be the sort of timeframe in which you can realistically plan for repairs and replacements, but either way, it’s handy to know!

    It is feasible to overstuff your loft with insulation to the point that ventilation is no longer possible, which you definitely don’t want to happen in the summer. Without adequate ventilation, you can experience a build-up of mould, dampness, and condensation in your home. More to the point, the answer to how much loft insulation is too much will vary from property to property. At RJ Insulation, we always ensure the level of insulation installed is optimum, fitting eaves ventilation in the process.

    Our process for installing loft insulation is very straightforward. 

    • First, you’ll need to get in touch with us to discuss your preferred service and your requirements. We’ll give you an accurate quote based on what you tell us and book a home visit appointment, then our team will be on their way to York.
    • Next, you’ll be visited by the RJ Insulation team. They’ll take some measurements of your property to figure out how much material to lay down.
    • We’ll set up boarding frames to prop up the insulation when it’s installed.
    • Our team will securely lay down the chosen insulation material. 
    • When we’re finished, we’ll tidy up any mess and debris, most of which may come from removing the older fibreglass material. 

    If you have any further enquiries about our installation process for loft insulation, we’re only a phone call or email away. 

    Loft insulation is effective at keeping homes warm because they block heat from rising and escaping through the rooftop of a house. Per the rules of thermodynamics, heat will always try to rise, but if it is blocked from doing so in a confined space, it will recirculate back down and displace any cold air it comes in contact with. Particularly safe and effective are our sustainable loft insulation materials. When applied to the most compatible property type, you can expect your wool, plastic or foil loft insulation to keep your home warm in winter and well-ventilated in summer.
