Boost Your EPC Rating and Eco Credentials With Thermal Insulation London

We offer a full insulation service under suspended floors i.e under the ground floor of a typical Georgian, Victorian or Edwardian property.

Period properties were designed to facilitate a clear air flow underneath them to enable the evaporation of any moisture and condensation coming from the over-site (i.e . the foundations , the earth under the house ) . This necessary circulation of cool air , flowing through the air bricks at the front and rear of the property , can result in draughts between the floorboards and a lower EPC rating for your home. It is estimated the 15 % – 20 % of heat is lost through uninsulated floors.

Our service begins with the lifting of 80 % – 90% of your floor, installing battens on the sides of the joists to support the installation of 750 mm insulation board (Kingspan / Celotex ). Once the insulation has been installed, the boards (that have been numbered prior to lifting ) are laid again in their original position :

1. Floor boards are numbered & carefully lifted

Then the boards are re-laid in their original position & the floor can now be sanded & sealed 
 
 
This will help boost your EPC rating bearing in mind that The Tories had previously rowed back on their push for a minimum permitted EPC rating of ‘C’ to any prospective landlords by the end of 2025 . Rishi Sunak initially delayed this until 2028 but then announced reductions in the conservative parties green commitments & abandoned both policies . 
The Labour Party have recently announced in their manifesto (June 2024)  their intention to reverse Sunak’s scrapping of Energy Efficiency standards for landlords . 
 
Whatever your political persuasion and whether you’re a private householder or a landlord managing a rental property  , there is no doubt that tougher EPC ratings are going to phased in soon & will be here to stay.
