Is Your Loft Insulation Still Doing Its Job?
Many homeowners in Wrexham don’t realise just how much heat escapes through the roof of their property. Over time, insulation can degrade, become compacted, or simply fail to meet modern standards—leading to higher energy bills and colder living spaces.
With the cost of heating continuing to rise, making sure your loft is properly insulated is one of the most effective ways to improve comfort and reduce energy consumption.
Common Signs Your Insulation May Be Failing
You don’t have to be a building expert to spot the signs that your loft insulation needs attention. If you notice any of the following in your home, it may be time for an upgrade:
-
Cold bedrooms or draughts upstairs
-
Uneven temperatures between rooms
-
High heating bills despite regular use
-
Visible gaps or damage to insulation material in the loft
-
Condensation or damp patches on ceilings
-
Insulation depth less than 270mm (the current recommendation for mineral wool)
In many older Wrexham homes, especially those built before the 1990s, insulation may be minimal or even completely absent.
Why Mineral Wool Is the Gold Standard
At Weather Wise Solutions Limited, we recommend mineral wool insulation for most domestic properties. It’s breathable, fire-resistant, and excellent at trapping heat.
Key benefits include:
-
Improved thermal performance
-
Reduction in energy bills
-
Better soundproofing
-
Increased property value
-
Compliance with Part L of the Building Regulations
Upgrading to modern insulation such as mineral wool can significantly improve your home’s energy efficiency rating—an important factor if you’re planning to sell or rent the property.
How Our Insulation Process Works
We start with a free survey to assess the condition of your loft space. If your insulation is found to be outdated, damaged, or below the recommended depth, we’ll advise on a suitable upgrade using high-quality mineral wool.
Our team will:
-
Safely remove old or ineffective insulation
-
Install new mineral wool insulation to the correct depth
-
Ensure compliance with ventilation requirements to avoid condensation
-
Tidy and secure the loft space for your peace of mind
We never oversell—if your insulation is still in good condition, we’ll let you know.
