Cold upstairs rooms
If upstairs feels noticeably colder, mention which rooms are affected and when you notice it most.
ATTIC INSULATION UPGRADES
Attic insulation for a more comfortable home.
Cold bedrooms in winter? Upstairs too hot in summer? Find out whether an attic insulation upgrade could be right for your home. Send a few details and we’ll discuss the next step by email.
No measurements needed to get started.
The boundary above your ceiling
Does upstairs feel different from the rest of your home?
A room you avoid in January. A bedroom that holds the summer heat. You don’t have to know what’s causing the discomfort before asking what to check.
Rooms that overheat
Tell us if the upper floor becomes uncomfortable on warm days, even when other rooms feel fine.
Uncertainty about existing insulation
Not sure what’s above the ceiling, or when it was last checked? That’s useful to know too.
A useful plan starts with what’s already there.
Adding insulation is one part of the picture. The starting condition of the attic matters when deciding what an upgrade should involve.
Existing insulation
Its type, condition and coverage help inform the next step.
Air leakage and the attic hatch
Gaps between the living space and attic may also need attention. Insulation and air sealing have different jobs.
Ventilation and moisture
Roof-space ventilation and signs of dampness should be considered before additional insulation is recommended.
Access and suitability
The layout, access and condition of the space affect what work may be appropriate.
- Living space
- Ceiling and attic hatch
- Insulation at the attic floor
- Ventilated roof space

InsideGap offers attic insulation top-ups and upgrades for existing homes in the areas we serve. We start with the condition of your attic, then discuss the suitable material, preparation and proposed work before you decide to proceed.
Understand the proposed work
Ask what is included, which areas are being addressed and whether any preparation is needed first.
Review the details before deciding
Material, access, existing conditions and the extent of the work all influence an estimate. Request a clear scope rather than relying on a generic price per home.

Questions before you get started?
How do I know whether my attic needs more insulation?
Room comfort alone can’t tell you. Existing insulation, air leakage, ventilation and moisture all need consideration. An assessment can help identify whether an insulation upgrade is appropriate.
Can existing insulation be topped up?
Sometimes, depending on its type and condition and the condition of the attic. More material should not be assumed to be the answer before those factors are considered.
How much will the work cost?
The scope, attic size, access, material and preparation affect the estimate. This website does not provide an instant price. Any assessment fee and proposed work should be explained before you agree to proceed.
Can I request an assessment without taking measurements?
Yes. For the initial enquiry, tell us your postal area and what you’re noticing. You don’t need to enter the attic or provide measurements to complete the form.
Do you serve my area?
Availability is checked using the first three characters of your postal code. We’ll confirm whether your area and project can be supported before arranging the next step.
Will an insulation upgrade lower my energy bills?
It may help reduce heat transfer, but the effect on bills depends on the home, the work completed, energy use and other factors. We don’t promise a fixed saving or payback period.
Do you offer rebates or government funding?
This page does not offer or guarantee a rebate, grant or government-funded installation. Any programme must be checked separately with its official administrator.
What if I’m concerned about old insulation or moisture?
Mention the concern in your enquiry. Don’t disturb suspected vermiculite or other potentially hazardous material. A qualified specialist may need to assess the situation before insulation work can be considered. This enquiry service is not an emergency or hazardous-material removal service.
