Q-Bot

About us

Q-Bot is a London-based company that develops and installs robotic underfloor insulation for existing houses and apartments with suspended timber or suspended concrete floors — a very common retrofit challenge in older UK housing stock, where over 8 million homes are estimated to have this floor type. Instead of lifting floorboards, Q-Bot sends a small robot into the underfloor void (through an access hatch or air vent) that maps the space and then sprays an accredited, regulation-approved closed-cell foam insulation to the underside of the floor, sealing out draughts while preserving necessary ventilation. Most installations are completed in one to two days with minimal disruption to residents, who can typically remain in the home throughout.

Q-Bot describes itself as a Queen's Award for Innovation-winning developer of intelligent robotics and AI systems for inspecting, monitoring, and maintaining building health, and it is the only BBA-certified installer of underfloor insulation in its category, alongside PAS accreditation and TrustMark registration. The company reports independently tested improvements in thermal performance of up to 79%, potential household savings of up to £560 a year depending on heating system, a 93.8 Net Promoter Score based on 100+ verified post-installation resident surveys, and more than 5,500 homes insulated to date. Eligible installations can carry a 25-year insurance-backed guarantee.

Beyond homeowners, Q-Bot works with landlords, housing associations, local authorities, and accredited contractor partners (such as SkootStor Insulation) who are trained and licensed to deploy the Q-Bot process, and its technology has been featured by organizations including UKGBC, Wates, and Torus in the context of the UK's wider 'Retrofit for the Future' push. The company publishes verified customer reviews addressing common myths about foam insulation (that it damages homes, causes damp, or is messy to install), directly countering concerns that often deter homeowners from undertaking sustainable retrofits.
