§ Why it matters

Your roof is where the heat goes

Edinburgh's housing is among the most distinctive in Britain. At its heart is the Georgian New Town — elegant stone terraces and townhouses — and the medieval Old Town, both World Heritage. Around them spread mile after mile of Victorian and Edwardian sandstone tenements: Marchmont, Bruntsfield, Morningside, Tollcross, Gorgie, Dalry, Newington and Leith, where it's the top-floor flats, right under the roof, that lose the most heat. Beyond the tenement belt lie the inter-war bungalows and semis of Corstorphine, Blackhall and Colinton, the coastal streets of Portobello and Trinity, and the stone villages of Cramond and Duddingston. Whether you're in a top-floor tenement flat or a house with a proper loft, a roof space that's under-insulated — or never insulated at all — means colder rooms in winter. We work with the quirks of every roof type, from tenement roof spaces to traditional house lofts.

§ Reviews

What Edinburgh homeowners say

Top-floor tenement flat in Marchmont, always freezing right under the roof. They insulated the roof space and it's a different flat now — warmer and quieter.
Fiona M.Marchmont, EH9
No pushy upselling — they recommended a wool top-up and boarded a bit for storage. Tidy, fair and done in a day.
Callum R.Leith, EH6
Our 1930s bungalow in Corstorphine had thin, settled insulation. Sorted now and the bedrooms hold their heat far better.

§ FAQs

Edinburgh loft insulation, answered

01

How much does loft insulation cost in Edinburgh?

Topping an Edinburgh roof space up to the recommended 270mm typically starts from around £250, depending on size, access and material. Your free survey gives you a fixed price with no obligation.

02

I'm in a top-floor tenement flat — can you insulate the roof space?

Usually yes. A top-floor flat has a roof space above the ceiling that can be insulated just like a house loft. Where the roof void is shared with neighbours, we'll let you know if any factor or neighbour agreement is needed before we start.

03

Can you work on a property in the New Town or a conservation area?

Yes. Much of Edinburgh — including the New Town and Old Town World Heritage Site — is covered by conservation status, but loft insulation is internal and unseen, so it's almost always straightforward. We'll flag anything that needs listed-building consent before starting.

04

Is it worth insulating an older stone tenement or house?

Definitely. Edinburgh's solid stone walls are expensive to insulate, which makes the roof the cheapest, biggest single saving you can make — and topping it up to 270mm is one of the most cost-effective ways to lift an EPC, useful for landlords under Scotland's tightening standards.

05

Will insulating cause damp or condensation?

Not when it's done properly. Poor airflow is what causes roof condensation, so we check ventilation on every job and insulate in a way that lets the roof breathe.

06

Is the quote really free?

Yes — the survey and written quote are free and no-obligation. You only go ahead if you're happy.
