Loft Insulation in Cardiff

Loft insulation for Cardiff homes, fitted to the recommended depth by Greentek Energy Ltd's own installers and usually finished in a single day. We check what's already up there, keep the eaves clear for ventilation, and leave the roof space holding heat instead of letting it out through the ceiling.

The cheapest measure we install, and normally the first one worth doing on an older Cardiff property before anything else is considered.

Paying to heat a Cardiff house that leaks warmth through the roof?

Heat rises, and in a home with thin loft insulation a large share of what you pay for goes straight through the ceiling and out through the roof. In Cardiff's older terraces and semis, what's up there was often laid decades ago and has been flattened by boxes ever since.

It's a cheap thing to put right, and one of the most commonly done badly. Insulation gets crushed under boards, stops short at the eaves, or blocks the ventilation the roof needs.

Check my loft
  • Cold upstairs rooms

    Bedrooms that cool down fast because the heat escapes straight through the ceiling.

  • Thin old insulation

    A shallow layer laid decades ago, well short of what's recommended today.

  • Squashed by storage

    Boards laid straight on top, crushing the insulation and most of its effect.

  • Damp risk in the roof

    Insulation pushed into the eaves, blocking the airflow a roof needs to stay dry.

What's Included

  • Loft insulation installation by our own in-house installers
  • Mineral wool topped up to the depth recommended for UK homes
  • Eaves kept clear and ventilation checked before we finish
  • Raised boarding available so you keep your storage space

Loft Insulation Installers Covering Cardiff

Loft insulation is the cheapest and quickest upgrade a Cardiff house can have. Most jobs are finished by our own team in a single visit, with no disruption downstairs and no mess to clear up afterwards. The part that decides whether it actually works is the depth, and plenty of older homes still have a thin layer from whenever it was first laid.

What we check before quoting

Whether the existing layer can be topped up or needs clearing out, whether the eaves are blocked, whether anything is being crushed under storage boards, and whether there's any sign of a leak or damp in the roof space. Greentek Energy Ltd quotes from what's actually up there, not from the size of the house.

Older Cardiff roofs

Victorian terraces through Cathays, Roath and Canton often have small loft hatches, low roof spaces and original timbers, which makes access the main variable rather than the insulation itself. Inter-war semis in Llanishen and Whitchurch usually have easier lofts and simply need topping up. Either way, the eaves stay clear so the roof keeps breathing.

Storage without crushing the insulation

Most households use the loft for storage, and boards laid straight onto insulation flatten it and lose much of its value. We fit raised boarding on legs above the new layer, so you keep the storage space and the insulation carries on doing its job underneath.

Beyond the city, the same team insulates lofts in Newport, Bridgend, Neath and Merthyr Tydfil. For the full detail on how the work is done, see our Loft Insulation page.

We required an urgent new boiler installation due to the old one breaking down and being unrepairable. Greentek Energy supplied and fitted a new one at very short notice so our tenants could have heating and hot water again. We are very grateful to Greentek Energy and would recommend them highly.

What it costs

What Loft Insulation Costs in Cardiff

Loft insulation is one of the cheapest upgrades a home can have, and one of the quickest. Four things change the price, and none of them is the postcode.

  • Loft size

    The floor area to be covered, measured properly at the survey.

  • What's up there now

    Whether we top up the existing insulation or clear it out first.

  • Access

    Hatch size, head height and how easy the loft is to work in safely.

  • Boarding

    Whether you want raised boarding for storage above the new insulation.

Every quote includes

  • A free loft inspection, with no obligation to go ahead
  • A fixed price agreed in writing before any work starts
  • Materials, labour and clearing up, in one price
  • Our own team throughout, with no subcontractors
  • A written workmanship warranty on completion

We don't quote a loft without looking in it. Five minutes up the ladder is what turns an estimate into a fixed price. Insulation finance is available through Ideal4Finance, subject to status, and is usually only worth it when loft insulation is part of a bigger package of work.

Frequently asked questions

How much does loft insulation cost in Cardiff?+
It depends on the loft's size, the access, what's already up there and whether you want raised boarding for storage. We inspect the loft and give a fixed-price quote in writing, rather than pricing from the postcode.
How thick should loft insulation be?+
Thicker than most people expect. Insulation laid decades ago is usually well short of the depth recommended today, which is why topping it up makes such a difference. We measure what's there at the survey and tell you what it needs.
Do you need to remove the old insulation first?+
Not usually. If the existing layer is dry, clean and evenly laid, the new insulation goes over the top. It gets cleared out when it's damp, contaminated or badly laid, and we tell you which applies after looking in the loft.
Do I need permission for loft insulation in Cardiff?+
No planning permission is needed for loft insulation. Welsh building regulations still apply to how it's installed, including ventilation, and we fit it to those standards.
How long does loft insulation take?+
Most Cardiff lofts are done in a single day. Awkward access, a very large loft or clearing out old material can add time, and you'll know the timescale before we start.
Is it worth doing before a heat pump?+
Yes, and it's the order we'd always recommend. A loft that holds its heat lets us size a smaller heat pump, which costs less to buy and less to run for the life of the system.
