Insulation is very important and can save you a huge amount month on month on your energy bills. Despite this, many people do not check to see what sort of insulation the home has and whether they need to replace or improve it.

There are a number of specialist companies out there that will be able to come and have a look in your loft at the roof insulation and advise you on whether it is sufficient or not. Some people are eligible to get help from the government towards the cost of insulation for their home so it is always worth checking this as it could save you thousands.

One your insulation is adequate you should find that your home stays warmer for longer meaning that you do not need to have the heating on for as long as you previously did.

If you have a very old home you may find that you have very little or no insulation where as new builds should be built to already have this included.

The cost of insulating a roof varies but on average £25 to £35 per square meter, so the average roof may cost around £400 to insulate.
