Underfloor insulation — for floors that feel colder than the room above them

If the floor is cold under bare feet and the room never feels warm enough, your floor is leaking heat. Suspended timber floors get insulation between the joists; solid floors get a PIR board on top. Most of the cost goes back into the bill in two to four years.

  • Surveyed first

About this service

Underfloor insulation, designed properly.

If your downstairs floor feels icy in winter and there's a draught chasing your ankles whenever you sit on the sofa, your suspended timber floor is almost certainly under-insulated — most pre-1970s homes either have nothing under the boards or a slumped, rodent-chewed layer that stopped working decades ago. We insulate from below using tensioned mineral wool or rigid PIR board, improve sub-floor ventilation at the same time so we don't trade cold for damp, and leave the floor reading as warm underfoot as a modern new-build. For solid concrete floors, we fit an overlay PIR system during a room refurb that adds about 25mm to the floor build-up but makes a real difference to ground-floor comfort. Both routes are PAS2030-accredited and grant-eligible where the wider package qualifies.

What you get

  • Cut floor heat-loss by 60–70% on pre-1970 suspended floors
  • Eliminates cold-feet syndrome and sub-floor draughts
  • Typical annual saving £110+ on a mid-terrace, more on detached
  • No-mess install from below wherever a sub-floor void exists
  • Fully guaranteed — 25-year product, 5-year workmanship

About 15% of a typical UK home's heat escapes through an uninsulated ground floor. Insulating between joists closes off the last major fabric route.

How it works

How it works, step by step.

  1. 01

    Sub-floor check

    Our surveyor lifts one or two boards, checks the void depth, joist condition, airbrick count and damp readings. 45-minute visit.

  2. 02

    Fixed-price quote

    Insulation type, ventilation upgrades, any remedial timber work — all on one quote. No discoveries on the day of install.

  3. 03

    1–2 day install

    From below where the void is accessible (cleaner, faster); from above where it is not. Dust sheets down, vacuum up behind us.

  4. 04

    Certification + guarantees

    TrustMark certificate, 25-year product guarantee, 5-year workmanship guarantee issued within 7 days of install.

Accreditations that matter

Not logos. The certifications that matter for Underfloor insulation.

Every one of these is checkable online. Every one changes something concrete about the job — the survey, the materials, the guarantees, the way the grants land.

  • PAS 2030

    Install quality standard for retrofit measures

    Our teams are certified to the installation standard that grant-funded work is audited against.

  • TrustMark

    The only endorsement scheme backed by the UK consumer body

    Every install is lodged on the TrustMark register so your cover travels with the property.

  • BBA certified

    British Board of Agrément product certification

    Every insulation layer we install is named on the quote and BBA-certified — no unlisted substitutes.

  • CIGA / SWIGA

    25-year insurance-backed cavity + solid-wall guarantee

    If OMEGA is no longer trading in 2049, your guarantee still pays out. Insurance-backed, not hope-backed.

Grants and funding

The grants you can get.

Eligibility changes often, the schemes don’t reward homeowners who fill the forms in themselves, and the paperwork is genuinely tedious. So we file it for you.

We handle the paperwork end-to-end

  • ECO4 + GBIS — insulation, paid direct to us
  • BUS — up to £7,500 off heat pumps
  • SEG — export tariff registration
  • OZEV / EVHS — EV charger grants

You sign once. We submit, evidence, and chase. The grant comes off your final invoice — nothing for you to claim back.

  • ECO4 funding — often packaged with loft or wall insulation

  • Home Upgrade Grant 2 — off-gas-grid suspended-floor homes

Common questions

Common questions, answered honestly.

  • Do I need to move out or lift all my floors?

    No. On a suspended timber floor we install from below wherever the void is accessible. No disruption to the finished floor at all. Where the void is too shallow, we lift one board per joist bay, install from above, and re-fix.

  • Will insulation cause rot in the timber?

    Only if ventilation is blocked. Our scope always includes checking and, where needed, uprating the sub-floor airbricks. We use breathable mineral-wool systems and guarantee against condensation damage for 5 years.

  • Is it worth it on its own, or only bundled?

    On its own, payback is around 5–8 years — decent but not spectacular. Bundled with loft + wall insulation on an ECO4 package it is effectively free and lifts comfort dramatically. Most of our underfloor jobs are funded bundles.

  • What about solid concrete floors?

    Solid floors can only be insulated during a renovation — we overlay 25mm PIR board plus a new wear surface. It adds 25mm to finished floor height, so door jambs and skirting usually need to be refitted. We flag that before you commit.
