Heat, bills and EPC
What it does for your heat loss, bills and EPC
Heat rises, so a poorly insulated roof is often the largest single route out for heat. Insulating it lowers the roof's U-value — how easily heat passes through — so the heating runs less and the EPC rating usually improves. The gain is largest where there's little insulation now; topping up a loft that's already reasonably insulated gains less.

Questions
Conservatory roof conversion: your questions answered
Why is my conservatory too hot in summer and too cold in winter?
Polycarbonate and older glass roofs let heat in fast in the sun and lose it fast at night. An insulated solid or tiled roof evens out the temperature so the room is usable all year.
Which conservatory roof systems do you install?
LABC-approved insulated roof systems such as Guardian Warm Roof or Ultraframe Livinroof. The system for your conservatory is confirmed at survey.
Can my existing frames take a solid roof?
Often, but not always. We check the frames, base and structure at survey before recommending a replacement roof.

More in loft and roof insulation
Loft insulation
Mineral wool laid between and across the joists to 270–300 mm so heat stays in the rooms below.
Loft insulation top-up
An extra cross-layer over existing insulation to reach the recommended 270 mm or more.
Blown loft insulation
Loose-fill insulation blown into awkward, shallow or low-headroom lofts that rolls can't reach.
Loft clearance and replacement
Old, damp or damaged insulation removed, the loft cleaned, then new mineral wool fitted.
Raised loft boarding and storage
Loft legs or raised boarding over full-depth insulation, so storage doesn't crush it.
Insulated loft hatch and ladders
An insulated, draught-sealed hatch and loft ladder — a small add-on that stops a big leak.
