Thinking of a new loft ladder and making use of the possible storage space up there. There's two versions of the ladder I'm looking at. One has a U value of 0.76, but for an extra £100, I can get it with a U value of 0.51

Am I ever likely to see a return on that extra £100 if I fit the better insulated one?

House is mid 1990s with 250-300mm in the loft, double glazing throughout, cavity wall but no really "extra" effort to be an energy efficient home.

Depending on the design, you could add a layer of kingspan to the hatch to improve the cheaper one.

Was going to say this. It's a job I need to get around to doing one day but wont pay those prices.
