Benefits of insulating your loft
Installing or upgrading loft insulation can offer several long-term advantages:

- More consistent temperature throughout the home
- Less strain on heating systems
- Improved EPC rating

Correct ventilation is also important to prevent condensation.
Adding loft boarding with insulation
If you plan to use your loft for storage, boarding can be installed above the insulation layer. Key considerations include:
- Raised loft boarding systems to avoid squashing insulation
- Weight limits depending on the roof structure
- Access points such as ladders and lighting
- Ensuring adequate airflow
A tradesperson in Essex can confirm the best approach for your loft.

- Extracting material from between rafters
- Checking roofing timbers for moisture
- Re-insulating with an alternative material
Specialists in Essex can advise whether removal is necessary and what replacement insulation is suitable.
