At The Loft Boys, we take sustainability and the environmental impact of our business very seriously. Our services include helping customers reduce their carbon footprint through better loft insulation and we’re very passionate about our own responsibilities too. And actually, our customers care a lot about how we’re working to reduce our impact too.
There are several ways that we actively do our part for the environment. The first involves minimising vehicle usage whenever possible. This means we only match surveys to the closest surveyor which helps keep their mileage low.
Responsible Removal & Disposal Service
When we’re tasked with removing stored loft items for customers we make sure those items are always disposed of properly. That means taking the items to facilities that will recycle and dispose of them in the most environmentally responsible way possible.
Paperless Office
We are also working towards becoming a paperless office. This is involving digitising our systems and processes and encouraging the use of tablets and computers amongst our staff.
Eco-Friendly Insulation
We try to draw attention to practices within our industry that go against our eco principles – such as the use of petroleum-based chemicals in spray foam insulation – as a way of better informing our customers and social media followers.
Eco-Friendly Hosting for a Sustainable Future
We’re proud to say that our website is hosted by Nimbus, a UK-based company dedicated to green web hosting. Their data centres run on 100% renewable energy, helping us reduce our digital carbon footprint significantly. By choosing Nimbus, we’re ensuring that every visit to our site supports our commitment to sustainability, making sure that even our online presence aligns with our eco-friendly values.
Sustainable Wood Sourcing: Our Commitment to Responsible Forestry
And finally, we work with a lot of wood! Whether we are boarding loft joists, rafters, or installing timber ladders – we always aim to ensure our suppliers have a responsible sustainability policy in place. That means the boarding we use will normally be certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) which verifies that the wood in question is from responsible sources.
