What can change a real Nottingham quote?

  • Loft or cavity-wall insulation
  • Property type and measured area
  • Existing insulation depth
  • Glass wool, mineral wool, EPS or foam specification
  • Wall exposure, condition and damp risk
  • Access and removal of old insulation
  • Repairs identified by the survey

Local planning considerations

Use the regional model as an early budget only; property condition, access and contractor availability can have a larger effect than the regional multiplier.

  • Existing property condition can move refurbishment costs more than the modest East Midlands model adjustment.
  • Groundworks, drainage and level changes should be kept separate on extensions, driveways and landscaping projects.
  • For older homes, allow surveys or opening-up work before treating an online estimate as a firm scope.

How the regional model works

The broad East Midlands factor is 0.97×, while the live insulation calculator uses 0.994×. Only 20% of the broad regional difference is applied because insulation jobs contain a meaningful material component and the published national benchmarks already span property size and system type.
