Insulation company

Explain which rooms or building elements feel uncomfortable and what work is planned. Supply construction and condition information where available; choosing a material before identifying the building and its defects can lead to a poorly defined brief.

Service scope

A provider category for assessing and installing building insulation across appropriate walls, roofs, floors or other agreed elements. Suitable work depends on the building construction, condition and moisture and ventilation strategy, not only the area to be covered.

What is normally included

  • Building-element insulation assessment
  • Installation of an agreed insulation system
  • Coordination of junctions and completion records

What is not included

  • Guaranteed energy-bill savings
  • One insulation method prescribed for every building

Typical tasks

  • Review the building and comfort objectives
  • Identify the elements proposed for insulation
  • Check repair and ventilation dependencies
  • Install the specified insulation package
  • Document installed areas and outstanding limitations

What to include in your brief

  • Building type and age if known
  • Elements to improve
  • Existing insulation information
  • Damp or repair history
  • Access and planned refurbishment works

Choosing the right professional

Ask how the company assesses suitability and deals with moisture, ventilation and junctions. Compare system proposals and preparation assumptions rather than treating the thickest material or lowest area rate as automatically best.

Important considerations

  • Insulating a defective element can leave underlying problems unresolved
  • Poorly coordinated junctions can reduce the benefit of the system
