Matt and his team recently installed new insulation in our loft room. The work was done to a very high standard and the service provided by Matt throughout was excellent. Would highly recommend Surrey Home Insulation.
Phil Golf
Matt, Dave and the rest of the team did a great job carrying out underfloor and loft insulation. There were some complications caused by the underfloor layout of the house, but the team adapted and I was very happy with the finished result. Very professional and friendly team.
Paula Brockwell
From start to finish Matt was very professional, clear and concise with his knowledge and recommendations. We needed the spray foam insulation removed from our property and Matt gave us all the details of the removal being very honest and upfront. He consulted us at every stage providing photos. The house was protected from dust with plastic sheeting laid on the hall carpet. The beams needed additional sanding which Matt explained before undertaking the work allowing us to decide first. The house was left extremely clean and tidy after the work was completed. I would wholehearted recommend Surrey Home Insulation. Thank you for doing such a great job

We inspect the loft before work begins and suggest appropriate replacement insulation materials that allow your loft and roof timbers to breathe. Our team then removes the foam with care, exposing the roof structure for inspection.

Professional Loft Insulation Installers in Wimbledon
How much loft insulation should my home in Wimbledon have?
The recommended loft insulation depth is 270mm. Many homes in Wimbledon will have much less than this. Others may have good insulation in one part of the loft but thin or missing material elsewhere. Our loft survey will show whether you need a full replacement or a simple insulation top-up. We will provide solutions specific to your home and actual needs. Contact us for advice with no obligation.
Can you insulate older Victorian or Edwardian homes?Is this a risk?
Yes. We have many years of experience working in a variety of older properties and we understand their needs and how they are constructed. Installing appropriate breathable materials and maintaining ventilation routes will allow your roof space to manage moisture naturally.
Can raised loft boarding be installed over 270mm insulation?
Yes. Loft storage boards should sit on a raised support system rather than resting on top of your loft insulation. Screwing boards to ceiling joists will squash the insulation. This reduces the air held within the material and makes it much less effective. A raised system allows for the correct insulation depth while creating a strong storage area above it.
Will loft boarding turn my attic into a living space?
No. Loft boarding creates a storage area. It does not turn the loft into a bedroom, office, or other living space.
A loft conversion needs structural work, building regulations approval, suitable access and escape routes, fire protection, and other changes. Raised boarding is designed for light household storage and safe access only. The Federation of Master Builders website provides a comprehensive guide on the requirements and regulations surrounding loft conversions.
Does spray foam always need to be removed?
Not every spray foam installation will have to be removed. However, the foam can make roof timbers harder to inspect. It may also lead to issues with your mortgage lender.
The correct course of action depends on how the foam was installed, if correct ventilation has been maintained, and the condition of your roof timbers. We inspect the loft before recommending removal. RICS also advises homeowners to gather installation records and seek professional advice if they find spray foam insulation in their loft.
Can you remove spray foam from a period property in Wimbledon?
In most cases, yes. Period properties need a careful and considered approach because the tiles, felt, battens, and timbers may be old. We inspect the roof structure before providing a quote. The removal method will depend on whether the foam is open-cell or closed-cell and how firmly it is fixed to the roof. Contact us today for a free loft survey with no obligation.
Can insulation and loft boarding be fitted at the same time?
Yes. Combining loft insulation with boarding is often the best approach. This reduces the visits required, costs and gives you an energy-efficient loft with a useful extra storage.
How long will it take to insulate my loft?
This depends on the size of your loft, and how much insulation work needs to be done, but a typical attic space can usually be insulated in just one day. Our surveyor will be able to advise on the amount of work required and how long it should take. Contact us today to book your free loft survey in Worcester Park.

Does my loft need to be clear to install insulation or raised loft boarding?
Yes. We will remove old insulation materials, but you will need to clear your attic of any stored items so that our installers can access your loft space.
What other home insulation services do you offer?
We also offer underfloor insulation for suspended timber floors. This is a popular service with owners of older properties where ground floor suspended floors are not insulated. Adding underfloor insulation will retain warmth and increase comfort, particularly if your floorboards have been exposed. Contact us for advice and to find out if your property could benefit from underfloor installation.
