Loft insulation, quoted after we’ve seen your loft
Most quotes for loft insulation are produced without anyone going into the roof space. Ours are not. We survey first, tell you what your loft actually needs, and put a fixed price in writing.

Family-run, working across Scotland since 2016
Easy Insulation Scotland is a family-run home insulation business that has been working across Scotland since 2016. We are run by Something Easy Ltd from our base on West George Street in Glasgow, and we are open 9am to 7pm, seven days a week.
Our main service is loft insulation. Scottish homes vary enormously, from post-war semis with open lofts to traditional stone terraces with slate roofs, and there is no single insulation that suits them all. That is why we install a range of materials. SuperQuilt is a thin, multi-layer insulation that works well where space is limited. Glass mineral wool is a proven, cost-effective choice for most accessible lofts. Natural sheep wool and hemp are breathable, eco-friendly options that manage moisture well, which makes them a strong fit for older properties. We also install acoustic insulation for homeowners who want to reduce noise as well as heat loss.
Whatever material is right for your home, the aim is the same: to cut heat loss through the roof, keep your home warmer in winter, help control condensation and damp, and improve your EPC rating, which can also make a difference when you come to sell or remortgage.
Every job starts with a free, no-obligation survey. One of our team will go into your loft, check what insulation you already have, look at ventilation and anything else that could affect the work, and talk you through the options in plain terms. There is no hard sales pitch. If you decide to go ahead, most installations are completed quickly, often within a day, and we leave your home clean and tidy afterwards.
We cover Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Perth, Dundee, Ayrshire and the surrounding areas. Our customers rate us 4.9 out of 5 on Trustpilot from 136 reviews, and many of them mention the same things: a thorough survey, straightforward advice and a tidy, efficient installation.
Three steps, and you can stop after any of them
We survey the loft
Someone goes into the roof space, measures the existing depth, checks the eaves ventilation and photographs anything worth showing you. This is the part most companies skip.
You get it in writing
A fixed price, the specification, and an honest view on whether the work is worth doing. If your loft is already fine, we will tell you that instead of quoting.
We install and tidy up
Most lofts take a day. We keep the eaves clear, lag anything that could freeze, and leave the place as we found it.
What a loft looks like when it is done properly
Depth at ceiling level, the eaves left clear, and the awkward surfaces in a converted loft dealt with rather than skipped.
The right material for the roof, not the price list
There is no single best loft insulation. A 1960s semi with an open loft and a pre-1919 stone terrace with slate on sarking need different answers, and a converted attic needs a different approach again.
Mineral wool
The default for most accessible lofts. Laid between the joists, then across them to reach 270mm. Best value per unit of performance by a distance.
Sheep wool & hemp
Natural fibres that buffer moisture, which suits older breathable roofs where a membrane was never fitted. A premium, and worth it in the right building.
Multifoil
Thin reflective quilt for shallow roofs and rafter-level work, where 270mm of wool physically will not fit. Normally used alongside other insulation, not instead of it.
Across Scotland
Housing stock varies enormously between Scottish cities, and so does the job. These pages set out what is specific to each.
Glasgow
Factored tenements where the roof is common property, and post-war estates where an ageing base layer is usually worth topping up.
Loft insulation GlasgowEdinburgh
Tenement roof spaces are often common property, and traditional slate-on-sarking roofs rely on ventilation to stay dry.
Loft insulation EdinburghAberdeen
Solid granite has no cavity to fill, which makes the loft the one affordable improvement available on most properties.
Loft insulation AberdeenDundee
Shallow post-war roof pitches mean insulation has to be tapered at the eaves rather than forced in.

Check what you qualify for before you pay us
We do not carry out grant-funded installations. We are not registered under the Scottish Government schemes, so all of our work is paid for privately.
We are telling you this on the homepage rather than after a survey, because if a scheme covers your loft you will be better off with an accredited installer than with us.
There is real funding available. The Home Energy Scotland Grant and Loan covers up to 75% of the combined cost of energy efficiency measures such as insulation, to a maximum grant of £7,500, with an optional interest-free loan for the rest. Rural and island homes get a further £1,500. It is not means-tested, so you do not need to be on benefits to qualify.
Alongside it sit ECO4 and Warmer Homes Scotland for low-income and vulnerable households, and the Great British Insulation Scheme, which closed to new applications on 31 March 2026. ECO4 was extended to 31 December 2026 and can cover the work entirely for qualifying households.
Home Energy Scotland checks every route in one free call on 0808 808 2282. Do that first. If nothing covers you, come back to us.
Straight answers, before you speak to anyone
Common questions
No. The survey and the written quote are free and carry no obligation. If we look at your loft and conclude the work is not worth doing, we will say so and there is nothing to pay.
Yes. It is the whole point. Without going up there nobody can tell you what depth you have, whether it is compressed, whether the eaves are blocked or whether there is a cable buried under the existing layer. A quote given from the driveway is a guess.
Usually not. If the existing layer is dry and clean, topping up over it is cheaper and works perfectly well. Removal is warranted where material has been contaminated by vermin, soaked through a leak, or has degraded. Be wary of any quote that treats removal as automatic, because it adds several hundred pounds.
Yes, with a raised boarding system that holds the deck above the full insulation depth. Boarding screwed straight onto the joists crushes the layer underneath and wastes most of what you paid for.
No, and we would advise against it in a Scottish loft. It can trap moisture against the roof timbers, it makes future inspection and repair difficult, and it has caused real problems for homeowners at the point of sale or remortgage. It is also not funded under the Home Energy Scotland scheme.
