The Insulation Company helps homeowners arrange loft-insulation assessments, quotations and installation services across the UK.

Great Yarmouth grew as a fishing port and Norfolk seaside resort, and its housing reflects both. Victorian and Edwardian terraces and former guesthouses stand near the seafront and the old rows behind it, interwar semis fill Gorleston and Cobholm, and bungalows favoured by retired residents spread through Bradwell and Caister. That mix, with the salt-laden coastal air, means loft work here is rarely one standard job — an exposed seafront terrace roof behaves very differently from a sheltered inland bungalow or a modern flat near the front.
We help homeowners across Great Yarmouth and the surrounding Norfolk area arrange loft assessments, quotations and installation. Depending on the service, work may be completed by The Insulation Company or an approved installation partner.
The terraces and former B&Bs near the seafront often have compact, steeply pitched lofts with awkward access and insulation that has settled over many years. Much of the area is interwar semi-detached housing across Gorleston and Cobholm, usually suited to a top-up over sound existing wool, often with storage boards laid onto the joists. The area also has many bungalows, where the whole roof sits directly above the living space and insulation depth matters, and modern flats that raise their own questions about who is responsible for the loft.
Great Yarmouth sits fully exposed to the North Sea, so salt-laden air and wind-driven rain make ventilation and moisture real considerations. Packing insulation hard into the eaves of an exposed terrace blocks airflow and can trap moisture, so we keep the eaves clear and treat ventilation and insulation as one question. On the most weather-beaten roofs we also check how the covering and felt are coping before recommending a build-up.
Salt-laden North Sea air, wind-driven rain and poorly ventilated roof spaces make condensation and damp common complaints in Great Yarmouth lofts. Insulation alone will not cure a moisture problem, so we identify the real cause — airflow, driving rain, a leak or an extractor venting into the loft — before recommending work.
In Great Yarmouth, cost is driven mainly by the exposure of the roof, loft access on the older seafront terraces, whether old insulation needs removing, and any boarding or ventilation work. Parking on the busier coastal streets can also be a factor.
You tell us about your property and what you have noticed in the loft. Nothing is committed at this stage.
We review the property age, roof type, loft access and any existing insulation, moisture or ventilation concerns.
Where required, a survey or assessment is arranged so measurements and conditions can be checked in person.
You receive a clear written recommendation and quotation setting out the scope, materials, price and any guarantee.
Work is completed by The Insulation Company or an approved installation partner, with access protected throughout.
Final checks are carried out, the loft is left clean, and relevant documentation and any guarantee are supplied.
These are examples of our work elsewhere, shown to illustrate what a project involves. They did not necessarily take place in Great Yarmouth.
Emma's front and rear bedrooms, split by a central chimney breast, both cooled quickly. We insulated the 40m² floor on both sides of the chimney to a full 300mm depth.
Example from our project library
Tom noticed condensation on the bedroom windows and rapid overnight heat loss. We gave his compact 31m² loft a full 300mm Knauf glass mineral wool layer, fitted carefully around the hatch and low edge bays.
Example from our project library
Peter's upstairs ran consistently colder than the ground floor even after a heating service. The 46m² loft was almost completely uninsulated, so we installed a full 300mm Knauf glass mineral wool layer from hatch to gable.
Example from our project library
A survey flagged the insulation while the sale was going through. We topped up the full 120m² bungalow loft within the week of the survey so the sale was not held up.
Winchester
Hannah's bedrooms lost heat fast once the heating went off. We topped the floor to a consistent 300mm, fitted SF19 SuperFOIL across the 57m² roof pitch and extended the boarded area to 12m² around the chimney breast.
Birmingham
Claire's bedrooms stayed cold despite a new boiler — because the 44m² loft had never been insulated. We installed a full 300mm Knauf glass mineral wool layer from the hatch to the gable wall.

Leeds
James's first floor stayed cold even after long heating runs. We took the loft from bare joists to a full envelope — 300mm Knauf across the floor, SF19 SuperFOIL across the 50m² roof pitch and a 6m² raised walkway.
Manchester
Mark's wide bungalow loft was expensive to heat and awkward to reach. We insulated the 48m² low-pitched floor in stages to a full 300mm depth, using temporary boards for safe access.

We help homeowners across Great Yarmouth and nearby Norfolk, from the seafront and Cobholm to Gorleston, Bradwell and Caister, as well as Hemsby and towards Norwich. Request an assessment and we'll confirm coverage for your postcode.
It can. Roofs open to salt air and North Sea weather need airflow kept clear and moisture managed alongside insulation, so we assess the exposure of your roof and keep the eaves ventilated rather than simply piling material in.
Coastal exposure makes ventilation important. If you have noticed condensation or staining, we look at the cause — airflow, driving rain, a leak or an extractor venting into the loft — because insulation alone will not fix a moisture problem.

Quality service and great people as well. They also undercut all my other quotes. Would highly recommend.
Great service with great prices. I felt very comfortable letting them get on with the insulation. No mess was left behind, and it was definitely needed with the horrible weather.

Jake and Rory supplied and fitted the insulation in our loft. They did an excellent job and I would recommend them.
