A quote that says 'insulate loft — £950' tells you nothing. A proper quote lets you compare like with like and holds the installer to a specification.

It should state clearly
- Loft floor area in square metres
- Insulation type and installed depth in millimetres
- Whether existing insulation is being removed, topped up or left
- Waste disposal arrangements and whether disposal is included
- Ventilation measures such as lap vents or eaves clearance
- Loft hatch draught-proofing and insulation
- Tank and pipe insulation where present
- Boarding area and construction method if boarding is included
- Total price, what is fixed and what could change
- Expected duration and whether it is a fixed written quote
Red flags
- A price given before anyone has established the loft's area
- No depth specified, or 'to current standards' with no figure
- Pressure to sign the same day, or a discount that expires immediately
- Removal and disposal quietly excluded
- Deposits requested in cash
How we quote
We assess most lofts remotely using satellite imagery and your photographs, then issue a fixed written quote based on published per-square-metre rates. On completion you receive a certificate recording the work carried out, materials used and insulation depths installed.
Common questions
What should be included in a loft insulation quote?
Loft area in m², insulation type and depth, removal and disposal, ventilation measures, hatch treatment, boarding details if applicable, and a clear total price.
If you would like an honest opinion on your own loft, send us your postcode and a few photographs. Most lofts can be assessed and quoted remotely using satellite imagery, and we will tell you if work is not necessary.
