What is Underfloor Insulation?

Underfloor insulation is a highly effective way to stop heat escaping through your floors — particularly in homes with suspended timber flooring. By installing insulation beneath the floorboards, it blocks cold air from entering and keeps warmth inside your home.

Thanks to the ECO4 and GBIS government schemes, eligible homeowners can have underfloor insulation installed completely free of charge.

It’s especially beneficial for older properties with draughty ground floors or low energy ratings.

Is Underfloor Insulation Suitable for My Home?

Underfloor insulation is particularly effective in homes with suspended timber flooring, which is commonly found in properties built before the 1980s. These floors often allow cold air to circulate from below, leading to chilly rooms and higher heating costs.

You’re likely a great candidate for underfloor insulation if:

✅ Your ground floor is made of wooden floorboards rather than solid concrete

✅ Your property was built before 1980

✅ You experience cold floors or draughts in downstairs rooms

✅ Your EPC rating is D, E, F, or G

✅ There’s accessible space below the floor (e.g. crawl space or cellar)

Not Sure If Your Floors Qualify?

No problem — we’ll arrange a free home survey to check your floor structure, access points, and eligibility before any work is carried out.
