Professional Building Regulation Compliance in Manchester
Expert installation exceeding UK Building Regulations Part L with guaranteed thermal performance
Understanding the 270mm requirement and why professional installation ensures compliance and optimal performance
UK Building Regulations Part L mandates minimum 270mm insulation depth for new builds and major renovations to meet thermal performance standards.
270mm insulation achieves the required U-value of 0.16 W/m²K or better, ensuring optimal thermal performance and energy efficiency.
Our 270mm installations come with comprehensive 25-year warranty, guaranteeing thermal performance and building regulation compliance.
The 270mm minimum requirement isn't arbitrary - it's based on comprehensive thermal calculations to achieve the required U-value performance across different insulation materials and Manchester's climate conditions.
We install to 300mm+ depth as standard, exceeding the 270mm minimum for maximum performance and future compliance.
Pre-1980s standard - 40% heat loss
1980s-2000s - 25% heat loss
Early 2000s - 15% heat loss
Current standard - 5% heat loss
Our systematic approach ensures perfect 270mm depth coverage with building regulation compliance
