Approximately 7.9 million UK homes are currently under-insulated, but 70 per cent of these could easily be improved with standard loft insulation, it says. Once installed, loft insulation should pay for itself several times over during its 40-year lifetime. If a home has no loft insulation, then installing 270mm of new insulation could save £250 a year on your energy bills. You can buy a 100mm roll of loft insulation for about £23, and 170mm rolls from Wickes or B&Q cost from £24. Bean-Gordon advises me to apply the insulation tape as tightly as possible into the frames.
