Foil insulation for Nottingham's housing stock
Nottingham's housing fabric is mostly red brick — the city sits on good clay and has built from it since Victorian times. The distinctive two-storey bay-fronted terraces of Forest Fields, Hyson Green and Radford date from the 1890s through to the 1910s and typically carry slate or clay-tile roofs over 100mm rafters. The Park Estate, near the castle, is a conservation area of substantial Victorian villas with elaborate roof shapes that need careful surveying before any insulation work. The inter-war suburbs of Mapperley, Wollaton and West Bridgford add a semi-detached layer, and the more recent developments around Gamston and Ruddington supply modern detached housing.
How we work in Nottingham
The Park Estate and the conservation terraces along Mapperley Road and Waterloo Crescent need an installer who understands that the outside of the roof must not change. We never recommend over-rafter foil where the existing covering would have to be raised, because the resulting ridge height change breaks planning consent in conservation areas. Between-rafters SF19+ or SF40, with the counter-battens hidden inside the roof void, is the specification that works. Further out, Nottingham has a huge conservatory stock — new-build estates around Gamston and Edwalton have been adding polycarbonate conservatories since the late 1990s, and we now convert several of them to warm-roof SF40 systems every month.
What we install
On a typical Nottingham job, we survey the roof and recommend the specific SuperFOIL product that best matches the application. SF19+ is our workhorse between-rafters product for retrofit lofts — 11 layers in a slim flexible roll that fits between shallow Victorian rafters without losing headroom. SF40 is specified where a higher U-value is needed or where the roof element is the main line of thermal defence — 37 layers, 12 reflective foils, currently the top of the SuperFOIL range. SFNC is our non-combustible variant for flats, commercial buildings and any application where fire rating drives the specification. Each product carries the full manufacturer guarantee and our own 10-year workmanship warranty.
Areas and neighbourhoods we cover
Our Nottingham crew regularly works across West Bridgford, Mapperley, Sherwood, Beeston, Wollaton, Carlton and The Park, as well as the surrounding villages and towns inside the NG1, NG2, NG3, NG5, NG7, NG8, NG9 and the surrounding NG-postcode area postcode footprint. If you're outside these areas, please phone — we will almost always travel anywhere in Nottinghamshire and the immediately surrounding counties for a decent-sized job.
Why a specialist matters
A general roofer can put a roll of foil between rafters in an hour. A properly-trained Superfoil contractor will take longer — because we measure and set the air gaps, tape every lap with approved foil tape, preserve the cold-side ventilation, protect the vapour control layer at every service penetration, and hand you compliance paperwork at the end. The difference doesn't show on day one, but it absolutely shows a couple of winters in — and it's the difference between a foil install that quietly performs for 50 years and one that causes condensation problems within 24 months.
Free surveys, written quotes, fixed prices
Every Nottingham job starts with a free, no-obligation site survey. We look in the loft, check the roof externally, measure the rafter depth, discuss what you're trying to achieve, and follow up within 48 hours with a written, itemised quote fixed for 60 days. There is no pressure, no call centre, and no commission-hungry salesperson. If foil isn't the right answer for your specific property, we'll tell you.
