Loft insulation is the easiest part towards the carbon foot print. Case study says up-to 25% of the heat loss of a standard house is from the roof and it can be saved via insulation the rafters or joists.
In ECO4, we assumed that third-party contributions to SWI would be 75%. Local governments and devolved administrations, in line with evidence, are the primary contributors.

The cost of loft insulation for a typical 3-bed house starts is around £350. Your price depends on any insulation you already have and your home’s specific installation requirements. You could also be entitled to free loft insulation through the ECO Scheme – we can help you with this, as well as getting you a quote.
If access is easy and your loft joists are regular, we will install rolls of mineral wool insulation. The first layer is laid between the joists – the horizontal beams that make up the floor of the loft – then another layer is laid at right angles to cover the joists and make the insulation up to the required depth.
If we can’t get into your loft to insulate it with rolls of mineral wool, ‘blown insulation’ may be an option. This requires specialist equipment to blow appropriate insulation material into any awkward space. They may use mineral wool fibre, treated cellulose or polyurethane foam.
