Loft insulation surveys in Northern Ireland
Loft insulation surveys across Northern Ireland.
What loft insulation surveys involves
A loft insulation survey measures what is lying between and over the ceiling joists, how deep it goes, and whether it is doing its job. The specialist also looks at the roof space itself: felt, rafters, eaves vents, the hatch, and any spray foam that has been applied under the covering.
It is worth booking if the house feels cold upstairs, if a home survey called the loft insulation unknown, or if foam on the roof has raised questions during a sale. Pick a slot at the published price and a specialist will go up and record what is there.

How loft insulation surveys works with us
Booking
You choose a date and pay the set price, noting anything already known about the loft, such as old insulation or foam.
Access checked
The specialist looks at the hatch, any boarding and the lighting before going up, and decides which parts of the loft can be reached safely.
Loft surveyed
Depth readings are taken at set points, and the felt, rafters, eaves vents and any foam are inspected and photographed.
Findings prepared
The measurements and photographs are written up with a note of anything that needs attention.
Does this look like your roof?
- Upstairs rooms never warm up, or the landing is colder than the rest of the house
- Roof felt is wet on the inside, or stored boxes come down damp
- Insulation looks thin, patchy or pushed right into the eaves
- Spray foam is visible on the underside of the slates or between rafters
- Daylight or a draught shows around the loft hatch
- A home survey describes the loft insulation as unknown, thin or disturbed

Beyond the depth measurement
Depth, coverage and the joists
Insulation only performs at the depth it is laid to, and gaps at joists or around services cut that performance. Measurements are taken at set points across the loft so the record shows the picture across the whole floor area.
Airflow at the eaves
Vents along the eaves have to stay clear or moist air has nowhere to go. The specialist checks that insulation has not been pushed over the vents and that no board or foam is blocking them.
Foam on the roof deck
Spray foam applied under the covering changes how a roof behaves. The survey records how far it spreads, which type it is and whether the timbers beneath show any sign of held moisture.
What the written record gives you
You receive the measurements, photographs of the insulation and roof space, and a note of anything the specialist thinks should be dealt with, which is useful when selling, buying or planning work.
