We recentenly opted for a gold package which involved stripping out old insulation, cleaning, installing new installation to current spec and boarding 20 sqm. I can't rate these guys highly enough. The team doing the install were experienced, very hard working (it was hot), and friendly. I had numerous questions about boarding the loft (such as layout etc) and they were very happy to take the time to discuss and figure out the best way forward. Their workmanship was excellent (boarding very neat) - they were clean and tidy and we are very happy with the finished result.Verified reviewerJob location: TN149 Warm welcome

Both teams were friendly, polite and worked well together. They were respectful and diligent and explained what they were doing. Overall, we were pleased with the installation although the work seemed expensive and both teams did not clear up well afterwards , one leaving the plastic wrappers on our patio.Verified reviewerJob location: CT2110 Reliable Professional Company

Great communications from first enquiry to the completed work. The surveyor recommended an installation method to save me the cost of scaffolding, great news. The installation team were professional and happy to explain the insulation process. Clean and tidy . The office answered queries quicky , they actually care about the customer. Overall I would recommend Viridian for cavity wall insulation.Verified reviewerJob location: TN610 Replacement of existing loft insulation

Impressive company from start to finish. Great communication from the office staff, estimator and fitters. Fully informed at each stage what was happening. Arrived on time, protected my existing carpet, cleared away all debris and checked I was happy on completion. Could not have asked for more.Verified reviewerJob location: TN1910 Exterior walls

Having phoned a number of companies who were very unhelpful I phoned Viridian who couldn’t help me enough. They were prompt in sending someone to view the job and I didn’t feel pressured to make a decision. Advised on what needed to be done and price wise very reasonable I was booked in for 2 weeks time. Two people turned up to do the job and were very respectful. Very happy customer. Would definitely recommend.Verified reviewerJob location: CR5

Viridian is a home insulation specialist based in Ashford, Kent that focuses solely on insulation products and services. Our supervisors and senior installers are employed by us, which means we don't use external subcontractors, and are skilled to a high standard and approved by our system designers.
Our loft insulation products are soft, non-itch, non-combustible, with low levels of dust release, and are made of 80% recycled material, which means they do not contain any volatile chemicals. For cavity wall insulation, we use material that has excellent thermal performance. It is also water-repellent, rot-proof, non-combustible and non-toxic in the event of a fire, which makes it durable and reliable in all weather conditions.
Viridian has access to UK government grant schemes providing free or part-funded insulation for private homes, housing associations and local authorities.
