Seamlessly catering to clients through both contractual and flexible engagements.
Professional Insulation Installation Contractors in London
By law, you must ensure adequate insulation to protect the safety of your property and its occupants. The Building Regulations Act (2022) Part L specifies the required U-values for optimal insulation and thermal performance for floors, walls and roofs. This is achieved using various materials:
- Fibreglass: Affordable, fire-resistant, eco-friendly insulation made from recycled glass fibres.
- Mineral wool: Heat-resistant insulation made from natural minerals (also provides soundproofing).
- Foam: Includes rigid foam boards and spray foam. Spray foam expands to provide thermal and noise insulation. Whereas, rigid foam is for insulating roofs and foundations.
- Loose-fill: Small particles that conform to spaces, used in walls and lofts; includes cellulose, fibreglass and mineral wool.
- Reflective insulation: Reflects radiant heat, ideal for hot climates, especially in lofts.
- Natural fibres: Eco-friendly options (cotton and sheep’s wool); needs treatment for fire and pest resistance.
Energy-Saving Insulation Installation
Investing in commercial insulation installation in London will improve your energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions and support evacuation during fires. Additionally, it offers noise reduction for better productivity and helps prevent condensation, mould and damp.
Without proper insulation, you may experience frozen pipes, pests, mould and high energy bills. As a result, this could cause uncomfortable temperatures, breathing difficulties, allergies and bad odours—problems that insurance may not cover.
Most insulation lasts between 15 and 80 years, depending on the material, installer’s skill and maintenance. If you’re unsure when your insulation was last inspected, Synserv can complete an evaluation. For new installations, our services typically take from a few hours to a month to complete.
