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

Spray Foam Loft Insulation Removal in Thames Ditton
Issues with spray foam loft insulation are well documented. Incorrectly installed, spray foam can block ventilation and allow condensation to form which can rot your roof timbers. Consequently, many mortgage lenders now refuse to lend against properties with spray foam loft insulation installed.
Surrey Home Insulation provides a specialist spray foam loft insulation removal service in Thames Ditton. We inspect the loft and identify the type of foam before recommending the right removal method. Through our extensive experience with spray foam, we have developed specialist tools and techniques to effectively remove spray foam without damaging the roof timbers or fabric of your home. After removal we add new performance loft insulation materials that maintain thermal efficiency and allow for proper ventilation of your loft space. Our process will also restore the martgageability of your property and allow surveyors to properly inspect the condition of your roof.

Professional Loft Insulation Installers in Thames Ditton
How much loft insulation should my home in Thames Ditton have?
Current guidance is that your loft should be insulated to a depth of 270-300mm. Even if you have insulation installed, modern materials can provide greater thermal efficiency, and your current insulation may be old and deteriorated. Without adequate loft insulation you could be losing up to 25% of your homes heat through the roof, making your home colder and significantly increasing your energy bills.
Can you insulate an older cottage or period home?
Yes. Many older cottages, Victorian terraces, and Edwardian homes will benefit from improved or new loft insulation. Period properties require a careful approach, and we understand the needs of older properties, how they are constructed and will always recommend appropriate insulation materials and methods for your particular property. We do not offer one-size-fits-all solutions.
Will adding loft insulation cause condensation in an older house?
No. Correctly installed loft insulation should not cause condensation. We take great care to ensure that ventilation is maintained when new insulation is installed. Understanding how properties of all ages are constructed and how to maintain ventilation of the roof space while properly insulating the loft is key, and that is where our knowledge and expertise can make the difference. If you are concerned about insulating your loft or have questions, please contact our lead surveyor Matt. He will be happy to provide advice and answer your questions.
How long does loft insulation installation take?
We can insulate the lofts of most homes in a as little as one day. The process can take a little longer if your loft is very large, if access is restricted or if we are installing loft boarding at the same time. Our surveyors will be happy to provide you with an estimate for the duration of your project when they inspect your loft.
Can raised boarding be fitted in a small cottage loft?
Yes, most lofts can be boarded. It just depends on the roof height, access and available spaces but it is rare that we cannot board a loft. Even boarding just a small section of your loft can provide a considerable amount of useful extra storage space.
Can you board over 270mm of loft insulation?
Yes, but the boards must be installed on raised legs so that the insulation is not compressed, and ventilation gaps are maintained. Fixing boards directly onto the ceiling joists will squash the insulation material and reduce its thermal efficiency. Our raised boarding system avoids this issue while still providing a strong and flat storage area.
Is loft boarding suitable for heavy storage?
Raised loft boarding is suitable for normal household storage such as suitcases, decorations, clothes, toys, Christmas decorations, and boxed belongings.
Does loft boarding count as a loft conversion?
No. Loft boarding creates a storage platform only. It does not make the space suitable for use as a room. A loft conversion will require structural alterations, windows, safe access and escape routes, and Building Regulations approval. The Federation of Master Builders website a great resource if you would like more detailed advice for converting your loft.
Does my loft need to be clear for you to install insulation or loft boarding?
Yes, the loft must be clear for our installers to access and work in your loft. We will remove and legally dispose of old insulation materials for you, but we do not clear lofts of personal or stored belongings.
Does all spray foam loft insulation need to be removed?
Not necessarily. If the correct spray foam was used, and it was installed properly, it may not need to be removed. However, we advise having your loft properly inspected by a qualified surveyor and consulting with your mortgage company who may require a surveyor’s report. If your spray foam loft insulation needs to be removed, we can do this for you and replace it with modern roll or quilt insulation materials.
Can insulation and raised loft boarding be installed together?
Yes. This is often the simplest and most efficient way to complete the work. We can install new insulation to the correct depth and install loft boarding on raised supports at the same time. Saving you disruption and time.
What additional home insulation services do you offer in Thames Ditton?
In addition to loft insulation installation and spray foam removal services, we can also provide underfloor insulation for suspended floors. This can be particularly helpful for owners of older period homes suspended floors downstairs are not insulated. Adding underfloor insulation can make older homes significantly warmer and cut drafts, particularly where character floorboards have been exposed. Contact us for advice and to find out if your property could benefit from underfloor installation.
We also install loft ladders and can insulate loft hatches to further increase the efficiency of your loft insulation.
