In many homes across Leicester's surrounding villages, loft insulation was installed years ago and hasn’t been checked since. If your upstairs rooms feel colder than the rest of the house or your energy bills are creeping up, your insulation might not be doing its job anymore.
At Weather Wise Solutions, we help homeowners spot the signs of failing loft insulation and upgrade to more efficient systems like mineral wool — giving you a warmer, drier, and more energy-efficient home.
❄️ Why Loft Insulation Degrades Over Time
Insulation isn't a fit-and-forget solution. Over time, it can:
-
Settle or compress, reducing its thermal performance
-
Become damp due to poor ventilation or roof leaks
-
Get displaced or damaged during loft work or storage
-
Simply not meet current energy efficiency standards
Even small issues can lead to noticeable heat loss, especially in rural, draught-prone areas like Desford, Anstey, Groby, Glenfield, and Huncote.
🔍 5 Signs Your Loft Insulation Might Be Underperforming
-
Cold bedrooms, particularly during winter mornings
-
High heating bills, despite no changes in usage
-
Draughts or temperature swings upstairs
-
Snow melts faster from your roof than your neighbour’s
-
Visible gaps or flattened insulation in the loft space
