INSUL8: home insulation in Cheshire and the North West of England

INSUL8 is a company specialising in insulation solutions for homes, based in Nantwich, Cheshire.

Insulation services and related work

• Cavity wall insulation: EPS (expanded polystyrene) bead fill to retain heat.
• Loft insulation: installation of rolled batts and top-up to prevent heat escaping through the roof.
• Loft boarding: installation of raised boards that allow walking and storage in the loft, with an access ladder.
• External wall insulation: insulation and renovation of solid wall facades, with a render or brick-effect finish.
• Cavity wall insulation removal: extraction of failed or damp fill, damp check and subsequent re-fill.
• Loft insulation removal: clearing out old or damaged insulation.
• Cavity wall ties: diagnosis and replacement of failing ties.

The company also offers an energy savings calculator on its website to estimate heating savings based on property size, main heating fuel and annual energy spend.

Materials and guarantees

INSUL8 states it uses BBA and KIWA certified materials. The company offers a 25-year insurance-backed guarantee and presents itself as a TrustMark-registered installer, as well as holding CHAS certification and complying with PAS 2035. For loft insulation, the firm mentions the use of Knauf product.

How it works

The company's described method of working is set out in three steps. First, the customer books a free, no-obligation survey with a local Cheshire surveyor. INSUL8 then checks the walls, loft and floors and provides a fixed, transparent quote. Finally, accredited installers carry out the work, sometimes in a single day, after which the customer has a warmer home and lower energy bills.

Results the company reports

According to figures INSUL8 publishes on its website, cavity wall insulation reduces heat loss by 35% during the first week and saves £410 a year on energy bills. The company states that the survey is free and with no obligation to proceed.
