Insulation by build date

Older homes need to breathe. Newer homes need depth. We match the material to the era.

Most installers offer one product. We work with four, because a 1900s cottage and a 1990s semi need very different things from their loft.

  1. Before 1920

    Sheep’s wool

    Victorian, Edwardian, period and listed homes

    Breathable, natural, kind to old timbers

    Locally sourced British wool that manages moisture naturally, helping older roofs avoid condensation while keeping the heat in. Naturally fire-resistant and good for decades.

    Plant-based alternative: hemp, the vegan equivalent with the same benefits.

    Built before 1920? Start here
  2. 1920s to 1960s

    MultiFOIL

    Interwar and post-war homes with cut roofs

    Slim, reflective, fitted to the rafters

    A multi-layer foil system that keeps the whole loft warm in winter and cool in summer, takes up almost no space and turns the loft into usable storage. It is in every RJ storage room.

    Also the base of our loft storage rooms, from £10,000.

    Built 1920s to 1960s? Start here
  3. After the 1960s

    SupaSoft recycled plastic

    Modern homes, often with trussed roofs

    Soft, itch-free and made from bottles

    Around 12,000 recycled single-use bottles per loft, laid across the loft floor for excellent depth without the irritation of fibreglass. Safe to handle and pleasant to live with.

    Melts away from flame rather than spreading it.

Why homeowners choose RJ

Not one-size-fits-all. Insulation chosen for your home.

Every home is built differently, so we match the material to your roof, your loft and how you use it, then install it with the care you would expect from a Which? Trusted Trader.

    Good questions

    Straight answers, before you decide.

    Which loft insulation is right for my home?

    The age and construction of your home is the best starting point. Homes built before 1920 usually suit breathable sheep’s wool or hemp, which help manage moisture in older timbers. Homes from the 1920s to the 1960s often suit MultiFOIL. Homes built after the 1960s usually suit SupaSoft recycled plastic insulation.

    Our insulation finder gives you a recommendation in a minute, and we confirm it with you on a free phone consultation.

    Are the storage room prices fixed quotes?

    No. £10,000, £20,000 and £35,000 are guide starting prices for Options 1, 2 and 3. Your written quote depends on the size of your loft, access, roof construction and the finish you choose, and follows a free phone consultation and an assessor visit.

    Is a loft storage room the same as a loft conversion?

    No. A storage room gives you a fully insulated, boarded, building-regulations-compliant space for your belongings, installed in as little as two to five days and at a fraction of the cost of a conversion. It is not a habitable room such as a bedroom. Tell us how you would like to use the space and we will advise.

    Do you just do loft boarding or ladders?

    Our storage rooms are complete, insulated spaces rather than boarding on its own, which is why they start from £10,000. If you are only looking for boarding, a ladder or a hatch, call us and we will point you in the right direction.

    How long does installation take?

    Most loft insulation installs are completed in a day. Storage rooms typically take two to five days depending on the option and the size of your loft, and we agree the timescale with you before we start.

    What guarantees do you offer?

    All RJ insulation comes with a lifetime guarantee for as long as your home stands. Separately, your installation is covered by a five-year insurance-backed warranty from the IWA (Independent Warranty Association). Ask our team for the full terms.

    Do you cover my area?

    RJ Insulation is based in Ipswich, Suffolk and installs across England and Scotland. Share your postcode in the calculator and we will confirm availability for your area.

    What happens after I use the calculator?

    You will see your recommendation straight away. A member of the RJ team then calls you to arrange a free 20 to 30 minute phone consultation, followed by an assessor visit and a written quote if you would like to go ahead. There is no obligation at any stage.
