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
Raised Loft Boarding Solutions in Molesey
Finding enough storage space can be hard in busy family homes. Boarding your loft is a fast and effective way to create space in an unused area of your home for boxes, luggage, decorations, and other items that you do not need every day.
Loft boards should not be fitted directly to the ceiling rafters. Doing this will squash your loft insulation and significantly reduces its thermal efficiency. Our raised loft boarding system creates a strong storage platform above your insulation.

Spray Foam Loft Insulation Removal in Molesey
Spray foam loft insulation can cause issues with mortgages and could prevent you from selling your home. Incorrectly installed, spray foam can block crucial ventilation to your loft space, causing condensation, which can eventually rot your roof timbers. Due to these well publicised issues, many mortgage lenders now refuse to lend against properties with spray foam loft insulation.
Surrey Home Insulation provides specialist spray foam loft insulation removal in Molesey. We have developed specific techniques and tools to remove spray foam from your loft. Once it has been removed, and if the roof structure is in good condition we can replace the foam with modern, breathable loft insulation. This will allow your loft space to ventilate correctly and will restore the mortgageability of your property.

Professional Loft Insulation Installers in Molesey
How much loft insulation should my Molesey home have?
The recommended minimum depth for loft insulation is 270mm. We offer a variety of loft insulation materials, and we will recommend the most appropriate solution for your property type and age. There are no ‘one-size-fits-all’ solutions and we will advise on the best solution for your home. We also offer a top-up service if your current loft insulation is in good condition but simply needs additional materials to bring it up to standard. Contact us today to book a free survey with no-obligation.
Can you insulate Victorian or Edwardian homes in Molesey?
Yes. Many Victorian and Edwardian houses can benefit from improved loft insulation. Older roofs often have chimney breasts, narrow eaves, water tanks, pipes, cables, and uneven joist layouts. We understand the needs of older properties, and we can install appropriate insulation materials while maintaining crucial ventilation to the roof space. The insulation needs to fit around these features without blocking the airflow that helps control moisture in the roof space. We carryout a full inspect before recommending the best materials. Contact us today to discuss your project.
Will loft insulation make my home too hot in summer?
No, insulating your loft makes your home warmer in winter, but can also help to keep it cooler in summer. Insulating your loft helps to prevent heat-soak from your roof tiles and loft radiating into the rooms below. Insulating your loft hatch will also help to stabilise winter and summer temperatures in the home.
Can new insulation be laid over my existing insulation?
Possibly. If your existing loft insulation material is in good condition and meets modern standards, it is possible to simply add additional material to bring you insulation up to the recommended depth of 270-300mm. We will advise what is required when we survey your loft.
How long does loft insulation installation take?
That depends on the size and complexity of you loft space, however, most loft insulation projects can be completed in as little as one day. Insulation may take a little longer if your loft is very large, has difficult access, if there is lots of old insulation to remove, or if you are also having your loft board.
Spray foam removal projects can vary in duration. The time needed depends on the roof size, the type and quantity of foam, and how complicated your roof structure is.
Can raised loft boarding be installed over 270mm insulation?
Yes. Loft boards must be raised so that they allow for the correct depth and do not compress the insulation material as this will significantly reduce its effectiveness. Our raised system places the boards on metal supports that are fixed to your ceiling joists, allowing for the correct insulation depth and adequate ventilation gap.
Is raised loft boarding suitable for a Victorian terrace?
Yes. If there is sufficient height in your loft, our raised loft boarding solution can be installed in any home, no matter how old it is. Even a small area of loft boarding can provide useful storage in a terraced home. We can plan the boarding around the most accessible part of the loft and board just part or all of the available space.
Can my you board just part of my loft?
Yes, we offer a full or partial loft boarding service depending on your storage needs.
Does loft boarding create an extra room?
No. Raised loft boarding creates storage space. It does not covert your loft into a new room. A loft conversion needs structural work, stairs, fire safety work, and will require Building Regulations approval. You can get comprehensive advice and guidance about loft conversions on the Federation of Master Builders website
Does all spray foam loft insulation need to be removed?
No. Not all spray foam loft insulation is bad, but many installations were not carried out correctly. The foam can make the timbers harder to inspect, block crucial ventilation and trap moisture in timbers leading to rot. It is for these reasons that many mortgage lenders refuse to lend on properties with spray foam loft insulation installed. If you are unsure if you have a problem, it is advisable to have your loft inspected by a surveyor and consult with your mortgage company.
Can loft insulation and boarding be installed together?
Yes. Combining loft insulation upgrade and boarding is often the most efficient approach. New insulation can be installed along with raised supports and boards together, saving time and disruption.
Do you cover both East and West Molesey?
Yes. Surrey Home Insulation serves homeowners in all areas of Molesey and nearby parts of Surrey. Contact our team with your postcode to confirm availability and arrange a free loft survey with no obligation.
