Before + After warm roof installation 🤩

160mm of PIR insulation carefully installed between and over the rafters, finished with new tiles to form a complete warm roof. Now complete, it ties in perfectly with the external wall insulation we installed three years ago, wrapping the home in a continuous layer of energy-saving insulation!

Insulation has been fitted between and over the existing rafters and the old tiles have been upgraded to create a full warm roof. With the walls we insulated a few years ago, this roof completes a fully insulated and protective wrap!

Insulation = year-round comfort.

One of the most significant environmental benefits of renewable energy is its ability to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the primary drivers of global warming 💛

Brick slips are thin slices of brick which act as a tile to give the look of a full brick wall. They can be used on top of external wall insulation boards as an alternative to a render coating - keeping a classic brick finish, while boosting your home's energy efficiency. Traditional style, modern performance! 💛

CCF X iHelios infrared heating

We are proud to partner with iHelios - a revolutionary infrared film heating system that works by delivering heat directly to objects and people in a room, rather than warming the air. This results in a more efficient, comfortable, and cost-effective heating solution compared to conventional systems ✔✔✔

#comfortablycoolhomes #homesfitforthefuture #utilityroomgoals

Our homes shouldn’t cost us the earth - literally. With a quarter of the UK’s carbon emissions coming from housing, wasted energy isn’t just hitting our wallets, it’s harming the planet.

It’s time to insulate, upgrade, and future-proof homes for a greener, more efficient future. Are you ready to make a change? 💛

CCF x Mapperley Park retrofit - spot the difference! 👀

✖️ Solid walls with thick textured render
✔️ Full EWI wrap, finished with modern, high performance render
✖️ Inefficient, deteriorating windows
✔️ Bespoke solid timber, triple glazed, flush casement windows
✖️ Damaged roof
✔️ Full warm roof inc. solar PV panels & battery storage
✖️ Poorly used internal space
✔️ Ensuite dormer conversion
✖️ Visible, unsightly pipework
✔️ Repositioned, minimal pipework

Results -
💛 Greater thermal performance, increased natural light, improved aesthetic appeal, smart use of internal space, gas free, energy independence 💛

#insulationexperts #comfortablycoolhomes #homeretrofit #homesfitforthefuture #externalwallinsulation #fabricfirst #EnergyIndependence

Most homes built before the 1920s have solid brick walls, which have very poor insulating qualities. This accounts for 8.5 million homes in Great Britain, with over 90% of these homes remaining uninsulated. This results in dramatic energy loss, inconsistent temperatures and sky high bills 😟

Insulation works both ways, by keeping heat in during the winter, and keeping heat out during the summer. This helps to maintain a consistent and comfortable temperature all year round and cut energy costs for both heating and cooling your home! 💛

With gas and electricity bills sadly due to increase again for millions of households on 1st April, there is no better time to evaluate your home's efficiency.

Homes can lose a massive 60% of energy through uninsulated walls, floors and roofs. Improving insulation reduces energy usage, lowers bills and increases comfort 💛

5 Insulation Myths - Busted! ⚠️

There’s a lot of misinformation about insulation, so let’s set the record straight!

✖️ Myth: Insulation is only for winter.
✔ Truth: Insulation keeps your home warm in winter and cool in summer! It helps to regulate a consistent indoor temperature all year round. Win, win!

✖️ Myth: You have to insulate everything at once.
✔ Truth: All insulation helps, however big or small! Tackling your home in manageable steps, by starting with the biggest heat loss areas like lofts or walls, can make a big difference to comfort and energy bills.

✖️ Myth: Heat is only lost through the roof.
✔ Truth: While loft insulation is important, heat can also escape through uninsulated or under insulated walls and floors, as well as windows and doors!

✖️ Myth: Insulation makes your home feel stuffy.
✔ Truth: Properly installed insulation works with ventilation to maintain fresh air and prevent damp or condensation issues.

✖️ Myth: Insulation is too expensive.
✔ Truth: Insulation is an investment which saves money in the long run by cutting energy bills and increasing property value. We encourage a step by step approach which prioritises measures that fit with your budget. We also offer finance options, allowing you to spread the cost with “buy now, pay monthly”.

Poor quality materials, or installation methods naturally impact performance, which is why we strongly recommend seeking an established insulation specialist to work with… Like us!

If not, why not? How can we help? 💛

#homesfitforthefuture #insulationexperts #comfortablycoolhomes #homeretrofit

A full external wall insulation system is the most effective way to insulate a solid wall home. But we know that’s not always possible; whether due to access, budget, or restrictions on aesthetic changes.

That’s why we don’t believe in a one-size fits all approach. Instead, we take everything into account to create the best solution for you, whether that’s a complete system or a step-by-step plan that fits your home and budget 💛

5 ways to reduce damp in your home!

Damp isn’t just a nuisance - it can seriously harm your home and your health. Here are 5 steps to tackle damp and keep your home healthy -

1️. Improve ventilation
Open windows, use extractor fans and air vents where needed. Letting your home breathe reduces moisture buildup.

2️. Dry clothes outside or in a ventilated space
Drying laundry indoors without proper ventilation can add a lot of moisture to the air. If outside isn’t an option, try using a tumble dryer or ensure the space is well-ventilated.

3️. Check for leaks
Inspect your roof, gutters, and pipes regularly. A small leak can lead to big damp problems over time!

4️. Repair damaged brickwork
Cracks and damage to brickwork or chimneys can let water seep into your home, causing damp patches. Ensure your damp proof course is in good condition to stop moisture rising through your walls.

5️. Invest in proper insulation
High-quality insulation helps regulate your home's temperature, reducing condensation - one of the main causes of damp. Plus, it keeps you cosy and energy-efficient! 😉

Pro tip: Cleaning mould and damp patches is important for both aesthetic and health reasons, but it doesn't solve the root cause of the problem. The sooner you address the cause of damp, the easier it is to prevent long-term damage.

For more info and ways you can protect your home and keep it healthier, contact us today! 🌿💛

To ensure the UK remains on track to reach net zero by 2050, all homes must achieve an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of ‘C’ or above. Most homes, however, currently fall within band ‘D’.

Retrofitting measures include installing insulation and upgrading windows or assessing and refurbishing the entire house with several insulation measures to reduce heat loss.

Maintain the original features of your period property by insulating your home internally!

Internal wall insulation can be applied to the whole house, or by prioritising specific areas to create cosy rooms! While insulation keeps your home warmer during the winter, it also keeps it cooler in the summer, making it noticeably more comfortable all year 💛

We love seeing our customers return to continue their insulation journey with Cobalt Carbon Free!

Our customer started with external wall insulation and has now noticed an even bigger improvement in their home’s comfort and energy efficiency since tackling the loft 🌟

Before: A loft with minimal insulation, struggling to keep the warmth in.
After: A fully cleared, insulated, and professionally boarded loft that’s not only warmer but also far more functional.

Swipe ➡️ to see the transformation for yourself - from a cold, underutilised loft to a fully insulated and functional space!

It’s a great reminder that insulating overlooked areas like the loft can have a huge impact on your home’s energy efficiency.

A snow covered roof is a sign of a well insulated roof ☃️

Insulation keeps heat inside your home, preventing it from escaping through roofs, walls and floors. A snow covered roof shows your roof insulation is doing what it should do, by retaining the warm air inside.

Melted snow, or uneven patches can indicate heat is transferring through the roof due to insufficient insulation. If warm air can get out, cold air can get in, which forces your heating system to work harder and your bills to increase! Brrr!

If your roof isn't keeping you snow cosy, give us a call 💛
