Here are our tips to reduce heat loss, energy bills as well as your carbon footprint.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">England has a real insulation problem. The charm of the old Victorian houses or cottages comes at a price. And this price is only growing as electricity and gas costs are skyrocketing. Have you ever felt that sneaky little draught whilst you sit on a floor, or have you ever noticed how cold it feels behind the curtains when you open them in the morning? So before cranking the radiator to 22 degrees, there\u2019s a lot you or a Tasker can do to insulate your windows, your doors and your walls.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What Materials Do You Need To <\/b><b>Insulate Your Home<\/b><b>?<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Foam board insulation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weather seals<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Window film covers<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Draught-proofing strips<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Door draught excluders<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Self-adhesive foam strips<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keyhole cover<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Floor filler<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Silicone or hard fillers<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>How to insulate walls<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to recent studies, almost a third of heat loss in homes comes from poor wall insulation. The <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">best way to insulate your walls<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is to use expanding foam, insulation boards or roll, fibreglass, or mineral wool fibre. What you need to use depends on the type of walls of your house (cavity wall, solid wall or else) and what room you\u2019re insulating. For the kitchen or bathroom, you\u2019ll want to only use mould and mildew-resistant materials. Ask a professional, or your real estate agent about the type of walls in your house as this will help the person in charge of insulating your walls and avoid some unnecessary holes and damages.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"What is wall insulation?\" style=\"width:640px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_d5jcp5aZ-_A\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fd5jcp5aZ-_A%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d5jcp5aZ-_A\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT1M1S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2020-11-02T12:24:27Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_d5jcp5aZ-_A\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fd5jcp5aZ-_A%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">What is wall insulation?<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/d5jcp5aZ-_A\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fd5jcp5aZ-_A%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"What is wall insulation?\" width=\"640\" height=\"340\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"About a third of all the heat lost in an uninsulated home escapes through the walls.

And make sure they don\u2019t cover your radiator so the air is not trapped behind it. To properly <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">insulate windows<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you should also look for air gaps around the frames, a typical issue of old English homes. An easy solution is to block up the cold air with draught-proofing strips. This could save you up to \u00a360 a year. And if you don\u2019t plan on opening certain windows all winter, taping window film covers will surely reduce draught. And of course, the long-term solution would be to install double or triple glazing to reduce heat loss (and noise).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-14029\" src=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-28-at-10.43.00-1024x684.png\" alt=\"Window insulation\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-28-at-10.43.00-1024x684.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-28-at-10.43.00-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-28-at-10.43.00-768x513.png 768w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-28-at-10.43.00.png 1069w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>How To Insulate Doors<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insulating doors<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is very easy. Use weather strips on the exterior and interior to seal gaps, a keyhole cover, and a door draught excluders or seals at the bottom of the door. For doors that will remain closed all winter, use <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">removable caulking or cover the door with a plastic film that will catch any draught.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How Much Does It <\/b><b>Cost To Insulate A House<\/b><b>?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This depends on how old your home is and therefore how well-insulated it already is. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On average, draught-proofing costs about \u00a3225 for a typical semi-detached English house, and that includes the cost of the materials and the labour. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wall insulation costs <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">can vary from \u00a3300 to \u00a31800 if you have cavity walls, but you should make the money back with lower energy bills in 2 to 3 years. If you have solid walls, then insulation is pricey and can cost several thousand but save you up to \u00a31000 a year in Energy bills. Finally, pipe insulation can cost anything from \u00a3100 to \u00a31000 but you could lower your energy costs by up to \u00a3300 a year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more information on how much you could save and how much the home repairs will cost you, go to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/energysavingtrust.org.uk\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">energysavingtrust.org.uk<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Insulation By Room<\/b><\/h3>\n<h4><b>Insulating An Attic<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This might seem pointless but it really isn\u2019t. On average a quarter of the heat is lost through the roof. So even if the attic hasn\u2019t been converted into a nice loft and you never set foot there and therefore have never insulated it, it is still worth doing some<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> work. The <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">best way to insulate<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> an attic is by installing insulation rolls made of mineral wool. If the attic is hard to reach, then a specialist can still blow expanding foam to retain as much heat as possible. Floor fillers come also very handy in the attic as wooden floors usually contain many gaps that let cold air flow from the attic to the rooms below.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-14028\" src=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-28-at-10.43.11-1024x679.png\" alt=\"Attic insulation\" width=\"800\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-28-at-10.43.11-1024x679.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-28-at-10.43.11-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-28-at-10.43.11-768x509.png 768w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-28-at-10.43.11.png 1066w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><b>Insulating A Basement<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spraying foam insulation is usually the preferred solution for a basement. It is easy to use, great for irregular walls, which is often the case for a basement, and more importantly is moisture-resistant. Avoid anything made out of wool as it will develop mould due to the moisture often found in basements.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Insulating Living Spaces<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All the tips previously mentioned can be used to insulate a living room or a bedroom. You can spray foam insulation or lay <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">blanket-style insulation<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> if bigger home repairs don\u2019t scare you. For a quick and easy solution to insulate a room, draught-proof the windows and get heavy curtains or lay some fluffy carpet to cover hardwood floors with creaks. Make sure also your radiators are not directly behind furniture to allow the hot air to circulate within your room.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Insulating A Kitchen<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It goes without saying that if you decide to insulate the walls, you need to select materials that are moisture-resistant. If tearing down your wall to install insulation foam or fibreglass isn\u2019t an option, you can also opt in for insulating paint which has properties that absorb heat that would normally escape through the wall. Look also in-between cabinets and underneath them along the floor to spot any air gaps that you can easily fill with foam.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Insulating A Bathroom<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similar to the kitchen, you need to take into consideration the constant steam and moisture found in the bathroom if you want to install insulation behind your walls. Bathrooms usually require the installation of a vapour barrier as well, such as plastic or felt paper to keep moisture away from the walls and ceiling. Bathrooms are also where you want to insulate your hot and cold water pipes to reduce heat loss, especially if you notice that it takes a while for your faucet water to heat up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/services\/handyman\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For help with insulating your home, book a Tasker now<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Winter is coming and with it high energy prices and a constant chatter about energy consumption and global warming.
