Underfloor Insulation Services In London

Isn’t it nice to feel warmth beneath your feet? Not just your feet, an overall warm home is a haven when it is cold outside.

Underfloor insulation helps you keep your home warm and have a lower energy bill at the same time in the UK. In comparison, you can save a substantial amount of money per year.

Although it’s smarter to get floorboard insulation done by professionals, gaps and droughts around skirting boards and floors can be fixed yourself with a bit of sealant available in any local DIY stores. It’s important to note that adequate ventilation would be required to prevent your floorboards from rotting, hence make sure to ventilate underfloor air bricks in your outside walls.

Insulation For Different Types Of Houses

You would find a suspended timber floor in older houses, which can be insulated by raising the floorboards and putting insulating material like mineral wool in between joists.

Newer homes in the UK are likely to have concrete foundations. If needed this can be insulated by replacing or laying a rigid insulating layer on top.

The upper floors of your home generally do not require insulation if the bottom floors are insulated adequately. But it’s important to insulate any areas in the house which lay above unheated spaces such as the garage as you might end up losing a lot of heat there.

Benefits Of Underfloor Insulation

Installing underfloor insulation offers a range of benefits, from reducing energy bills to improving your overall quality of life. By minimizing heat loss through the floors, underfloor insulation helps to maintain a more consistent temperature in your home, eliminating uncomfortable draughts and cold spots.

Key Benefits:

Energy Efficiency: Insulating your floors reduces the amount of heat that escapes from your home, leading to lower energy consumption. This not only helps to reduce your energy bills but also lowers your carbon footprint.
Improved Living Conditions: A properly insulated floor creates a warmer and more comfortable indoor environment, enhancing your overall health and wellbeing. It also helps to reduce the risk of damp and condensation, which can affect air quality and cause health issues.
Enhanced Property Value: By improving the energy efficiency of your home, underfloor insulation can increase its market value, making it more attractive to potential buyers.
Versatility: Whether your property has suspended timber floors, solid floors, or concrete floors, underfloor insulation can be tailored to your building’s structure. We assess your specific needs to provide a customized solution that maximizes efficiency.
For properties with suspended floors, installing insulation between the floor joists creates an effective barrier against heat loss. In homes with solid floors, we use advanced insulation materials beneath the floor surface to ensure optimal thermal performance. Ventilation is also considered, as maintaining adequate airflow with air bricks and ventilation bricks is essential to prevent moisture buildup.

Quick Installation And Long-Term Savings

Underfloor insulation is relatively straightforward to install, especially during new construction or renovation projects. Once installed, it requires minimal maintenance and can provide long-term savings on energy bills throughout the life of your property.

The initial investment in underfloor insulation is typically recouped through energy savings within a reasonable timeframe. Consult with a professional insulation provider to determine the most suitable insulation material and installation method for your specific needs.

What Type Of Floor Does Your House Have?

It is more important to determine your floor type before deciding on how to insulate your floor. Understanding the floor type will allow you to get an idea to achieve optimum effectiveness when a company comes to work on insulation. If you are living in the United Kingdom, then the following ways might come in handy:

If there is a basement or cellar in your house, you will be able to see the joists and the undersides of the floorboards from below. This signifies a suspended timber floor.

If you can see ventilation structures in the external part of your house, then also it’s likely to be a suspended timber floor.

If your floor surface is inaccessible, you will have to lift your carpet and see the surface beneath to determine the types of floor.

If you live in a flat and there are flats beneath yours, you don’t need to worry about insulation.

Insulating A Timber Floor

To insulate timber floors you may need to repair and clear any existing damage, rot or infestation under your floor. Also, ensure that ventilation areas are not blocked by your insulating material.

Insulation of timber floors can be achieved by fitting rolls of mineral fibres in between the joists by netting or by using solid insulating floorboards.

Cost Savings and Financial Incentives

One of the primary reasons to invest in underfloor insulation is the potential for significant cost savings. By reducing your reliance on heating, you can expect to see a noticeable reduction in your energy bills. The insulation creates a more thermally efficient environment, meaning less heat escapes through the floor, and you won’t need to use as much energy to keep your home warm.
Additionally, homeowners can take advantage of financial incentives offered by the government to encourage energy efficiency improvements. For example, recent government announcements have introduced a 0% VAT rate on certain energy efficiency measures, including underfloor insulation. This VAT cut allows homeowners to install insulation at a reduced cost, making it more affordable than ever to upgrade your property’s energy efficiency.
By improving the thermal performance of your home, underfloor insulation also offers an excellent return on investment. Not only will you save money on your monthly energy bills, but you’ll also increase the overall value of your home, ensuring long-term financial benefits.

Installation Process

At FloorOx, we follow a structured installation process that ensures your underfloor insulation is installed quickly, efficiently, and to the highest standard. Here’s an overview of our typical process:
Initial Assessment: We begin with a thorough site survey to assess the condition of your floors and determine the best insulation method. Whether you have suspended timber floors or solid floors, we create a customized plan that meets your property’s requirements.
Subfloor Preparation: For suspended floors, we access the crawl space under your home through a hatch. Our team checks for moisture issues and ensures proper ventilation with air bricks to prevent dampness. For solid floors, we prepare the surface for insulation installation.
Installation: Our expert installers carefully position the insulation material, such as mineral wool, between the floor joists or under the floor surface. We secure it with netting to keep it in place, ensuring maximum coverage and efficiency.
Final Inspection: Once the installation is complete, we conduct a final inspection to ensure everything is fitted properly and meets building regulations. We also check for any remaining draughts or gaps to ensure optimal thermal performance.

Depending on the size of the property, the installation can typically be completed in one to two days, minimizing disruption to your daily routine.
