Huge demand & work given to you
With energy costs rising by over 40%, millions of homeowners could significantly reduce their gas and electricity bills by ensuring that their homes are properly insulated. With potential savings of up to £205 per year, it's no wonder that over 60,000 people a month are searching online for loft insulation.
With access to part of a £1bn Government backed funding package, Loft Lagger customers could also benefit from at least 50% off the standard installation cost, or they may even get it for FREE - which means that the customers will quite literally be coming to you!
If the potential cost savings and funding wasn't enough to ensure that our franchisees are constantly busy, then the additional leads supplied by the Loft Lagger national accounts will certainly help to keep the diary full!
This high volume of work provides franchisees with a potential turnover of £60 - 80k within the first year of trading, giving you the confidence and the ability to expand into a multi-van business.
What the experts say
Don't just take our word for it - see what the industry experts and national press are saying
“Mr Brown said that over the next three years he wanted to see six million homes getting subsidised insulation, about two million homes a year. The National Insulation Association says there are around 5,000 qualified insulation technicians in the UK, carrying out around 1 million insulation installations every year. This means that these numbers will need to nearly double if the government's targets are to be met.”

“The biggest beneficiaries of the energy measures are likely to be loft laggers, double-glazing installers and other home-insulation specialists.”

“The Government's move to force energy suppliers to invest £910 million of new money in energy efficiency may be a "a mouse of a proposal" in the eyes of Labour MP Frank Field, but it will deliver 11 million new clients for loft laggers and insulation experts.”

“The insulation industry also risks being unable to meet capacity demand sufficiently. This is particularly the case in the early stages of CERT when some suppliers will be expecting to frontload their activity.”

“Yesterday the prime minister spoke of 6m homes being insulated by 2011. One obvious issue is ensuring that there are enough loft laggers in the business to fulfil Mr Brown's goals.”

“Business is set to boom for loft laggers and insulation experts, with the government to announce free loft and cavity insulation for about 4m people.”
