Stop your energy bills going through the roof!
Without loft insulation you could be losing as much as 25% of your heating costs through your roof.*
If you install loft insulation you could save up to £175* a year on your bills and nearly 1 tonne of CO2.
But for really toasty winter evenings in, the ceiling is not the limit. The Tesco Home Insulation Service includes the lagging of all cold water tanks and pipes in the loft and insulating and draught proofing your loft hatch.

*Please note:
The free insulation offer is subject to a suitability assessment and limited funding. If your property exceeds a maximum meterage (+ £5 per additional m2), requires additional works (scaffolding, roof vents, core vents, walkboards, pipe insulation, water tank insulation, extra wide cavities), or has more than 60mm of existing insulation you will be charged a contribution fee. At the time of your free no obligation suitability assessment, your assessor will confirm if you will need to pay an additional contribution due to excess meterage or additional works.
We do not have funding for under tile insulation or where there is already more than 100mm/4 inches of existing loft insulation.
The Tesco Home Insulation Service is currently only available in mainland Great Britain and the Isle of Wight. Tesco plans to extend the coverage of the service to include the Scottish islands in the New Year. If you live in the Scottish Islands and have applied/would like to apply, Tesco is currently registering all enquiries and will be in touch when we can service your enquiry.

Good to know…
Our specially negotiated prices include the lagging of all cold water tanks and pipes in the loft and insulating and draft proofing your loft hatch. The insulation is quick and simple to install and can usually be completed within a couple of hours.
The insulation used by the Tesco Home Efficiency is a glass or mineral fibre material and is laid between the joists with additional layers cross-laid at right angles to ensure there are no gaps at the top of the joists.
Please note that insulation available through the Tesco applies only to that laid on the floor of the loft and does not apply to any insulation that may be required under the tiles/slates. Also, unfortunately the insulation that we install is not suitable for converted loft areas or where boards cover over 20% of the floor space.
Loft insulation - assessment & installation guide
Assessment:
The assessor will:
- Check your loft is suitable for loft insulation.
- Require access to your loft.
- Identify if fixed boarding or personal belongings in the loft will have any implications on the installation process and request these be removed prior to the installation.
- Provide you with a copy of the completed survey outlining the nature of the work to be undertaken, with any necessary additional chargeable works and the total cost payable by you.
Installation:
Customer Checklist:
- Ensure your driveway is clear for our installation van.
- Clear all personal belongings and boarding from your loft as agreed with your assessor.
- Upon completion check premises and sign a form to confirm the work has been carried out to your satisfaction.
Customer information:
- Loft insulation takes 1–3 hours to install.
- The installers will require access to your loft. Prior to installation it is your responsibility to remove any stored personal belongings from your loft. The installer may be able to arrange to have these removed at an additional cost payable by you but this service is not offered by all companies and varies from installer to installer.
- The mineral wool insulation material is fully approved and non-hazardous to your health. Sustainably manafactured materials are available at an additional cost upon prior request with your assessor and by arrangement with your installer.
- As floor joists will be covered by the insulation it is recommended you use a crawl board to access the loft in the future as walking could be dangerous.
- Upon completion of the works we would recommend that you do not store items in your loft space as this can reduce the efficiency of the insulation.
- Any recessed lighting, high voltage cables or transformers in the loft space will not be covered by insulation to ensure they do not overheat.
Step by Step:
Step 1
The installers will lay the new insulation and where necessary over the top of any existing insulation.
Step 2
The insulation will be laid to allow a gap up to the eaves in order to allow ventilation into the roof space. If additional ventilation is required the installers will discuss the various options with you.
Step 3
Cold water tanks and water pipes will be checked by the installers to ensure that they meet current insulation requirements. Where necessary additional tank and pipe insulation will be fitted.
Step 4
The back of the loft hatch will be insulated up to the same depth as the loft insulation. The hatch insulation will be covered in plastic and secured to the hatch. Where possible, draught proofing will be fitted around the edge of the loft hatch.
Step 5
Once all of the work is complete the installers will remove any surplus debris.
