The Insulation Company helps homeowners arrange loft-insulation assessments, quotations and installation services across the UK.
London · England
Ealing earned its 'Queen of the Suburbs' name from its generous Edwardian villas and tree-lined avenues, and much of that character survives around Ealing Broadway and Ealing Common. Beyond the leafy centre, the borough runs through the Edwardian and interwar terraces of Hanwell and West Ealing out to the vast 1930s semi-detached suburbs and later housing of Greenford, Northolt and Southall in the UB postcodes. That range from substantial villas to Metro-land semis means loft work here varies a great deal.
We help homeowners across the Ealing area of west London arrange loft assessments, quotations and installation. Depending on the service, work may be completed by The Insulation Company or an approved installation partner.
The Edwardian villas and terraces around Ealing Broadway and Ealing Common often have generous but sometimes complex roofs with insulation laid years ago that has settled, and tall houses can mean steep, awkward loft access. The interwar and 1930s semis across Hanwell, Greenford and Northolt typically carry thin original wool ideal for a top-up, and many have boards laid straight onto the joists for storage. Bungalows on the quieter roads have large roof areas where insulation makes a real difference. Newer apartments near the centre raise questions about who is responsible for the roof space.
Ealing's older villas and terraces were not built around modern ventilation, so blocking the eaves with insulation can cause condensation. We keep the eaves clear and consider airflow alongside insulation. In part-converted lofts — common across the suburbs — we check whether the job is a loft floor to insulate at joist level or a room-in-roof needing a rafter-level approach.
Condensation is a common complaint in poorly ventilated Ealing lofts, particularly where an extractor has been run into the roof space. We identify the cause before recommending work rather than assuming insulation will resolve it.
Across Ealing, access, parking, the state of any existing insulation and removal of old material drive cost more than location alone. Complex villa roofs, the roof area of larger semis, and any boarding or ventilation work also affect the quotation.
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 Ealing.
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.

Yes. Generous Edwardian roofs can be complex, with steep access and settled insulation, so they reward careful assessment rather than a standard approach. We look at the whole roof, keep the eaves clear and recommend a suitable build-up.
Often, yes. Interwar semis usually have thin original insulation that has settled well below today's recommended depths, so a top-up over sound material is frequently worthwhile. We assess what is actually up there first.
Customer feedback
Feedback from customers who have used our insulation services.
The boys were very kind and well advised. They got the job done quickly and smoothly. My loft was in pretty bad shape, as I have a slight hoarding problem, and they passed no judgement. Thank you for your service.
Very good, prompt and friendly service with an excellent result. Very pleased with the outcome. Well done lads.
Recommended. Friendly, efficient and did a great job in two very dirty loft spaces. All the waste shifted quickly. Top job. Thanks.
These guys are the best! Rory and Leo were very kind to me and got it all done in just a day. Thank you.
Jake and Rory supplied and fitted the insulation in our loft. They did an excellent job and I would recommend them.
It was refreshing to have two young lads who came in and worked incredibly hard on my loft. They came early and left late to get the job done. The best workers I’ve had in a long time, and I would recommend them 100%.
