The problem

The homeowner wanted their loft brought up to a proper depth of insulation. The job was priced remotely, so the team measured the loft first before ordering materials.

The loft floor came to 30m², and the aim was a full 300mm of mineral wool across it, the depth current guidance recommends.

What we did

  1. Priced remotely, then measured on site at 30m² before the materials were ordered.
  2. Laid Knauf mineral wool loft roll across the 30m² loft floor.
  3. Built the insulation up to a full 300mm depth, keeping it even with no gaps.
  4. Issued the homeowner a completion certificate and 10-year guarantee.

The result

The 30m² loft floor now has a full 300mm of Knauf mineral wool. The job was finished in one day.

The work is covered by EcoTrust's 10-year guarantee, and the homeowner has a completion certificate for their records.

Loft insulation in Birmingham: questions we get asked

How long does loft insulation take in Birmingham?

Most lofts take a single day once the price is agreed. This 30m² loft in Yardley East, Birmingham, was measured, then insulated to 300mm with Knauf mineral wool in one day. Bigger lofts, or ones where old insulation or boards must come out first, can take two.

How deep should loft insulation be?

Current guidance is around 270mm to 300mm of mineral wool. We brought this Birmingham loft up to a full 300mm. At that depth the tops of the joists are covered, so heat cannot escape along the timbers, and the loft meets the level most energy advice now recommends for homes.

Can you price loft insulation without a home visit?

Sometimes. This Birmingham job was priced remotely from the details the homeowner gave us, then our team measured the loft on site before ordering materials. That way the rolls match the real floor area and you are not paying for waste.

What insulation do you use and is it guaranteed?

We use Knauf mineral wool loft roll and lay it to 300mm. Every EcoTrust loft insulation job, including this one in Birmingham, comes with a 10-year guarantee and a completion certificate, so you have a record of exactly what was installed and when.
