Foil & multifoil insulation installers in Aberdeen

Aberdeen's granite tenements and terraces, the inter-war bungalows of Cults and Mannofield and the oil-era suburbs of Bridge of Don and Westhill sit in one of the coldest, most exposed cities in the UK, which pushes both thermal targets and moisture design harder than further south.

Aberdeen's housing and what it means for insulation

Granite tenements and terraces in the city, Victorian villas in the West End, inter-war bungalows in Mannofield and Cults, post-war estates at Mastrick and Northfield, and oil-era 1970s–2000s suburbs at Bridge of Don, Westhill and Portlethen. Cold, exposed sites push targets and moisture design.

Granite Aberdeen: cold, exposed and hard to warm

Aberdeen's granite tenements offer no easy wall route, so the roof carries more of the thermal work, and a roof that spends months near freezing needs its moisture design done properly.

Granite walls and tenements hold cold and offer no easy wall insulation route, so the roof carries a larger share of the thermal work than elsewhere. Long, cold winters and exposure push the target performance and the moisture design harder; a multifoil build-up here is normally combined with PIR to reach the target and the ventilation is designed for a roof that spends months near freezing.

How it works, briefly

Postcode → property questions → assessment where a physical inspection is needed → recommendation → fixed quote → installation. Every step runs to the InsulationMatch installation standard; the installing company is named on the quote. Multifoil itself is explained in the multifoil guide, and what moves a price in the cost guide. Local ranges are published here only once genuine Aberdeen quotes exist.

Local projects

Documented Aberdeen projects are added to the project library as they complete. Until then the library's typical project scenarios show how the housing above is assessed.

Questions homeowners ask

Do you install foil insulation in Aberdeen?

Yes — assessment and installation capability covers Aberdeen and the areas listed on this page, allocated by postcode and project type. The check tells you the coverage position before asking for contact details.

What insulation works best in a typical Aberdeen home?

Roof-level insulation carries more of the thermal work here; a multifoil-plus-PIR build-up with ventilation designed for a cold roof is the usual investigation.

How much does multifoil installation cost locally?

We do not invent city prices. National indicative ranges are in the cost guide — roughly £45–£80 per m² for multifoil to rafters — and a fixed price follows the property assessment.

Do you do ordinary loft insulation as well as foil?

Yes, and for an open loft floor we usually recommend it. Foil is suggested only where the roof, the depth and the intended use make it the better route.
