Loft Insulation Fleet
Loft insulation for Fleet homeowners
At Loft Insulation Specialists, we help Fleet homeowners cut heating bills with loft insulation installed to 300mm of Knauf Earthwool or Superfoil. Most of Fleet’s housing is inter-war and later, from the inter-war houses to the 1980s-2000s estates, the largest of them at Elvetham Heath. These cavity-wall properties usually have a private pitched loft with capacity for the full 300mm between and across the joists. The small pre-1919 core of terraces and villas in the town centre has solid walls. Cavity-wall insulation does not apply to those properties, which leaves loft insulation as their principal measure.
Up to 35% of a home’s heat escapes through an uninsulated roof. A free, no-obligation survey measures what your loft holds now, and you receive a fixed-price quotation before you book any work.
How Fleet homeowners benefit from Loft Insulation
Every Fleet loft insulation survey settles the same three decisions: whether the existing insulation stays, which material we install, and what happens to anything stored up there. On Fleet’s 1980s estate properties the keep-or-replace decision determines the quotation. The mineral wool laid at construction has settled, and the survey measures whether it still reaches 100mm. The sections below explain each decision.
Keep the quilt that is there, or start again
Dry mineral wool insulation that lies flat and springs back when pressed stays in position, and we lay new Knauf Earthwool over it to reach 300mm. Damp, stained or compressed insulation comes out first, because fibres in that condition never recover their original thickness. The survey settles which applies to your property, and the quotation states it.
Knauf Earthwool or Superfoil
Knauf Earthwool is the standard material: mineral wool insulation laid between and then across the joists to a 300mm depth, with a 40+ year service life. Superfoil is the multifoil alternative for a property with shallow joists or a floor you want to keep usable, because it delivers the same thermal performance in around one-fifth of the thickness. Most properties take Earthwool, and the survey confirms which material suits yours.
Boxes, boards and the hatch
Boxes placed directly on the insulation compress it, and boards screwed directly onto the joists over 100mm of mineral wool compress it equally. We move stored items aside on the installation day, and where you want to keep the storage, raised loft boarding on stilted legs sits above the full 300mm of insulation. We insulate and draught-strip the hatch surround as part of every installation.
Common loft insulation issues in Fleet homes
Fleet’s 1980s estate properties have accessible private pitched lofts where the mineral wool laid at construction has settled, usually to below 100mm. Elvetham Heath’s 2000s properties were constructed to a later insulation specification, which usually leaves a top-up installation as the only requirement. Church Crookham’s chalet bungalows have room-in-roof spaces with sloping ceilings. Only the horizontal ceiling sections take loft-floor Knauf Earthwool, and we quote rafter-level insulation for the sloping sections separately. The inter-war houses contain whatever insulation a previous owner installed, and the survey measures it before we specify a material. The pre-1919 terraces and villas in the town centre combine solid walls with traditional pitched roofs.

How our Loft Insulation service works in Fleet
Take a look below to find out how our Loft Insulation service works in Fleet,
- 1
Book your free Fleet survey
Book a free, no-obligation survey and we visit your Fleet property the same week to measure the existing insulation.
We measure the insulation depth between the joists, press the material for compression and check the eaves ventilation for airflow and staining.
We photograph the condition of the loft and confirm whether a top-up or a complete replacement is the better value.
- 2
Receive your fixed price quote
We calculate your fixed-price quotation from the loft floor area, the access and the survey findings, naming Knauf Earthwool or Superfoil as the material.
If you receive certain benefits and your EPC rating is D-G, we'll help you check ECO4 eligibility and carry out a funded installation under the scheme.
We set out labour, materials, disposal of any old insulation and the completion time in writing before you book the installation.
- 3
Professional Loft Insulation service provided
A standard Fleet loft installation takes 4–6 hours with a two-person crew, and we bring our own ladders and equipment.
We lay protective sheeting across the landing and staircase before the installation begins, and we contain the dust at the hatch opening.
Before we leave you inspect the finished depth with us, the eaves ventilation left clear and any old insulation bagged for licensed disposal.
How much does Loft Insulation cost in Fleet?
Loft insulation in Fleet costs between £600–£1,500 for a typical three-bedroom semi-detached home, or £15–£22 per square metre including materials and labour. Clearing old material with licensed disposal adds £650 where the survey identifies it.
The lower end of the range covers a 1980s estate semi-detached house whose hatch is unobstructed and whose insulation is dry enough to top up. A larger detached property on the 1980s-2000s estates has a larger loft floor area to insulate and costs nearer the upper end. A pre-1919 town-centre terrace with boarding to lift requires the additional labour of lifting the boarding. We confirm the price after the survey, and we add nothing afterwards.

Frequently asked questions
Take a look at the Frequently Asked Questions regarding our Loft Insulation services in Fleet.
Can a grant pay for loft insulation in Fleet?
Possibly. ECO4 funding is still available but in its final stage, and the programme winds down completely on 31 December 2026. It applies if you receive certain benefits and your home’s EPC rating is D-G. In Fleet we most frequently measure under 100mm of insulation in the inter-war houses and the 1980s estate properties. Their existing insulation has compressed since installation. We’ll help you check your eligibility at the survey and carry out a funded install under the scheme.
Which Fleet homes gain most from new loft insulation?
The Fleet homes that gain most from new loft insulation are the 1980s estate properties, whose original mineral wool has settled below 100mm. Increasing the depth to 300mm of Knauf Earthwool reduces the heating bill by the largest margin. Inter-war houses gain nearly as much where a previous top-up terminated at 100mm. The pre-1919 terraces and villas in the town centre have no cavity to fill, which makes loft insulation their principal measure. Elvetham Heath’s 2000s properties gain least, because they meet a later insulation specification. The survey measurement determines the material and finished depth stated in the quotation.
Do I need to empty my Fleet loft before you arrive?
No, not completely. We move boxes and furniture on the loft floor aside on the installation day, because the insulation runs across every joist bay. Anything on a raised boarded platform stays in position throughout the installation. Tell us at the survey what is stored up there, and the quotation allows for moving it.
What do you do with old loft insulation from Fleet homes?
We bag damp, stained or compressed insulation in the loft and transport it to a licensed disposal facility. We never reuse it, because wet mineral wool does not recover its thickness once dried. Dry insulation in good condition stays in position, and we install the new material over it. Removal adds 2–4 hours to the installation, and the quotation states it before the day.
How do I arrange a loft insulation survey in Fleet?
Request a quotation through the contact form or on 023 9326 7900, and we arrange a free, no-obligation survey the same week. The fixed-price quotation follows in writing. We cover Fleet and the surrounding area, and our Fleet service area page lists the neighbourhoods we cover for insulation work. Mention a Church Crookham chalet bungalow when you book, because the survey then includes the sloping ceilings in addition to the loft floor.
