Do I need loft insulation?

Most homes are suitable to have loft insulation.

If you have 100mm or less of existing loft insulation you qualify for additional insulation up to a depth of 270mm through CosyDevon.

How can I tell how much I already have?

The best way to tell is by lifting your loft hatch and measuring the depth between the top of the insulation and the board below with a ruler or tape measure (if you can!). If the insulation reaches the top of the joists then you are likely to have at least 100mm existing.

If your home was built prior to 1985 (and has not been topped up since then) you are likely to have 100mm or less existing due to building regulations.

See list for more details on the depth installed at time of build.

Before 1950       -           None

1965-1985         -           25-100mm

1990-2002         -           150-250mm

2003 onwards    -           270mm

I use my loft for storage, can I still have it insulated?

If no more than a third of your loft is boarded and used for storage you can have the remainder topped up to the recommended depth of 270mm through CosyDevon.
