    Very professional

    Posted 16 October

    From the initial survey, through to the works being carried out, the team at Viridian were great. Communication was good, and all the contractors were courteous and worked hard. When an issue arose (no fault of the installers), they were quick to help find a solution. They worked quickly but thoroughly and left absolutely no mess. Very professional from start to finish, I would have no hesitation in recommending Viridian.

    Trustworthy expert advice

    Posted 09 October

    I used Viridian to do a free survey of our house to check for cavity wall insulation and provide general insulation advice. I thought they (Mark was the surveyor) were outstanding, in particular because despite it turning out there was no opportunity to "sell" a project, his advice, customer service and professionalism was first class. There was never a doubt that he was going to do the right thing and advise against us spending unnecessary money.

    Cavity wall insulation done right.

    Posted 08 October

    Viridian did a survey of our wall before insulating found debris in the bottom and quoted to clear it before filling. It turned out that the debris was more serious than anticipated agreed a revised quote. The people at every level were helpful and courteous. The workman ship seems excellent in that what they could show me they did. I would be very happy to recommend this company. You really get to know a company when issues show up. No drama, solve, move on. Very good. Aaaaaa+

    Really good dealing with these guys. The person who came to do a survey spend a lot of time with us and had loads of general house advice. The lads doing the actual work were quick and very tidy. The loft space is amazing now!

    Loft Insulation

    Posted 13 September

    Viridian were a very good company to deal with from the surveyor initially coming round our house to give us a quotation to the 2 guys who came to install the new loft insulation. The 2 guys who did the installation of loft insulation were particularly helpful and very pleasant. Viridian is a good company to deal with.

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.
