About Nathan's team

Behind Dragon Insulations is a dedicated teams who take pride in solving difficult insulation problems and leaving customers with a better, warmer and more comfortable home. My vision has always been about more than simply completing jobs. It came from seeing homeowners frustrated by poor workmanship and insulation problems, and wanting to provide a service based on trust, honesty and doing things properly.

The journey

Dragon Insulations started with a simple ambition — to build a professional insulation company that people could trust. After years of experience in the insulation industry, I decided to take the step of building something of my own. Dragon Insulations Limited was established in 2024, starting from the ground up in South Wales. The early days were about proving ourselves. We focused on doing quality work, building relationships with contractors and homeowners, and developing a reputation for tackling difficult insulation problems properly rather than simply chasing volume. That hard work quickly led to larger opportunities. We became involved in major cavity wall extraction and remedial insulation programmes, working on approximately 2,000 homes and developing experience across a wide range of challenging properties. Since then, Dragon has continued to grow, building specialist teams, investing in equipment and training, gaining SafeContractor Gold accreditation and working alongside established organisations and contractors on projects across Wales and England. What makes me proudest isn't simply how much the company has grown. It's seeing a business that started with an idea develop into a team of people who take pride in their work and genuinely care about the results they deliver.
