All about loft insulation
What is loft insulation?
Loft insulation is one of the simplest and most effective ways to improve your home’s energy efficiency and reduce energy bills. Properly installed loft insulation can last up to 42 years, offering long-term savings and comfort.
Loft insulation typically consists of glass fibre or renewable wood fibre materials, which create a barrier in your roof space to prevent heat from escaping. This not only helps retain warmth during colder months but also reduces energy consumption.
At Intrinsic Eco Energy Ltd, we offer two main types of loft insulation:
Joist Insulation: Installed between the joists on your loft floor, effectively insulating your living space below.
Rafter Insulation: Placed between the rafters that support the roof, this option also keeps your loft space warm. While rafter insulation is generally more expensive, it’s ideal if you plan to use the loft as a living area or for storage that requires a warmer environment.
Choosing the right insulation depends on your needs, and our experts are here to help you make the best decision for your home.
Why get loft insulation professionally installed?
When insulating your loft, choosing a TrustMark-accredited installer ensures peace of mind and high-quality results. TrustMark is the Government Endorsed Quality Scheme for work carried out in or around your home.
Here’s why it matters:
- Government-Endorsed Quality: TrustMark accreditation guarantees that you’re working with certified professionals committed to delivering exceptional standards.
- Reduced Risk: Experienced professionals understand how to navigate missing floorboards and ensure they stay on the joists, preventing damage to the ceiling below.
- Cost-Effective and Safer: Professionals come equipped with the right tools and protective gear to handle fibreglass materials safely, minimizing the risk of skin irritation or inhalation.
At Intrinsic Eco Energy Ltd, we prioritize your safety and comfort, ensuring every installation meets the highest industry standards.

Internal Wall Insulation
Reducing heat loss within your home by installing internal wall insulation – also known as dry lining – is an effective way to improve energy efficiency.
Our process begins by fitting insulating material to your walls, followed by a vapour barrier that protects against air penetration. This method is suitable for nearly all property types, and the installation is quick, efficient, and hassle-free.
Overall, internal wall insulation is a smart investment that not only enhances your home’s energy efficiency but also improves comfort and increases the value of your property.
At Intrinsic Eco Energy Ltd, we specialize in providing high-quality internal wall insulation solutions that help you save energy, stay comfortable, and boost the value of your home.
Room in The Roof Insulation
What is Classified as a ‘Room in Roof’?
Simply put, a ‘Room in Roof’ refers to a room within your roof space that is accessed via a fixed staircase. Typically, it will have sloping ceilings, although if there are full-width dormer windows, the sloping ceilings may not be visible. A ‘Room in Roof’ can be a converted loft space or an original part of the design, such as the upper floor in a dormer bungalow.
If you’re unsure, feel free to contact a member of our team at 0121 312 1252 or via our Contact Page.
Why Insulate Your Room in the Roof?
The UK has one of the oldest housing stocks in Europe, with many homes built without energy efficiency in mind. This can lead to rooms becoming draughty, cold, and expensive to heat, causing you to lose up to 25% of the heat in your home through uninsulated roofs.
Installing Room in Roof insulation will help you stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter, lower your carbon emissions, and reduce your heating bills – saving you £100s, and in some cases, £1000s annually. And with our professional installation services, we offer this insulation at no cost to you.
At Intrinsic Eco Energy Ltd, we are committed to making your home more energy-efficient, comfortable, and cost-effective.

Flat Roof Insulation
Keeping the heat in your home is essential for lowering your energy bills and carbon footprint. Here at Intrinsic Eco Energy Ltd, we supply specialist flat roof insulation that keeps warmth in during winter and reflects heat away in the summer.
A flat roof is one which is deemed to be horizontal with a degree of between 0 to 15. Flat roofs are becoming more and more desirable for commercial properties.
Flat roofs are typically at their best on small buildings due to their compact nature. This makes them ideal for extensions and garages, but doesn’t render them unsuitable for larger properties.
