The Insulation Company helps homeowners arrange loft-insulation assessments, quotations and installation services across the UK.
South West · England
Bath is unlike anywhere else in the region — a UNESCO World Heritage city built almost entirely of honey-coloured Bath stone. Its Georgian crescents, terraces and townhouses, from the Royal Crescent to Lansdown and Bathwick, are overwhelmingly listed or within conservation areas. Victorian terraces climb the surrounding hills in Oldfield Park and Larkhall, with interwar and post-war semis and modern estates on the outskirts. That heritage means loft work here is rarely standard: a listed Georgian roof demands a careful, breathable approach that a 1960s semi simply does not.
We help homeowners across Bath and the surrounding South West area arrange loft assessments, quotations and installation. Depending on the service, work may be completed by The Insulation Company or an approved installation partner.
Bath's Georgian townhouses and crescents often have tall, complex roofs with valley gutters, parapets and lead work, frequently under listed or conservation constraints, so a sympathetic and breathable approach is essential. These solid-stone buildings were designed to let moisture move, so sealing a roof up can do more harm than good. The Victorian terraces of Oldfield Park and Larkhall tend to have compact lofts with awkward access and settled insulation. Interwar and post-war semis on the edges usually carry thin original wool suited to a top-up, often with storage boards laid straight onto the joists.
Bath's listed Georgian architecture calls for particular care: heritage and conservation constraints shape what is appropriate, and these breathable stone buildings need materials and methods that let moisture continue to move rather than trapping it. We keep the eaves clear for airflow and, on the grander roofs, assess valley gutters, parapets and lead work before recommending anything. Natural materials such as sheep wool often suit older Bath roofs particularly well.
Bath's damp valley setting, combined with breathable stone construction, makes moisture management especially important. Insulation alone will not cure a damp problem, and sealing an older roof can trap moisture, so we identify the real cause — airflow, a leak or an extractor venting into the loft — before recommending work.
In Bath, cost is driven mainly by the complexity of the roof, any listed-building or conservation considerations, the choice of a breathable material suited to older construction, whether old insulation needs removing, and any boarding or ventilation work.
You tell us about your property and what you have noticed in the loft. Nothing is committed at this stage.
We review the property age, roof type, loft access and any existing insulation, moisture or ventilation concerns.
Where required, a survey or assessment is arranged so measurements and conditions can be checked in person.
You receive a clear written recommendation and quotation setting out the scope, materials, price and any guarantee.
Work is completed by The Insulation Company or an approved installation partner, with access protected throughout.
Final checks are carried out, the loft is left clean, and relevant documentation and any guarantee are supplied.
These are examples of our work elsewhere, shown to illustrate what a project involves. They did not necessarily take place in Bath.
Emma's front and rear bedrooms, split by a central chimney breast, both cooled quickly. We insulated the 40m² floor on both sides of the chimney to a full 300mm depth.
Example from our project library
Tom noticed condensation on the bedroom windows and rapid overnight heat loss. We gave his compact 31m² loft a full 300mm Knauf glass mineral wool layer, fitted carefully around the hatch and low edge bays.
Example from our project library
Peter's upstairs ran consistently colder than the ground floor even after a heating service. The 46m² loft was almost completely uninsulated, so we installed a full 300mm Knauf glass mineral wool layer from hatch to gable.

We help homeowners across Bath and the surrounding area, from Lansdown, Bathwick and the city centre to Oldfield Park, Larkhall and Combe Down, as well as Bradford-on-Avon, Keynsham and Corsham. Request an assessment and we'll confirm coverage for your postcode.
Often, yes, but Bath's listed and conservation-area stone homes need a careful, breathable approach so moisture can keep moving through the structure, and any heritage constraints must be respected. We assess the roof and recommend materials such as sheep wool that suit older buildings rather than sealing them up.
Bath's damp valley setting and breathable stone construction make moisture management important. If you have noticed condensation or staining, we look at the cause — airflow, a leak or an extractor venting into the loft — because insulation alone will not fix a moisture problem.

Quality service and great people as well. They also undercut all my other quotes. Would highly recommend.
Great service with great prices. I felt very comfortable letting them get on with the insulation. No mess was left behind, and it was definitely needed with the horrible weather.
