Loft insulation in Abertillery’s homes
Rows of terraced homes account for 66% of the housing in Abertillery. In a terrace, heat can be lost through a thin or patchy layer just as easily as through an empty loft, so we look at how even the existing insulation is as well as how deep.
Semis make up 17% of homes here. In many, the loft is used for storage and the insulation has been pushed aside or flattened over the years, so even an insulated loft can be worth a second look.
With 22% of households in private rented homes, tenants in Abertillery should talk to their landlord about insulation. Most improvements to the building are the landlord’s to arrange.

Loft insulation in Abertillery: questions
How common are terraced houses in Abertillery?
Very: 66% of households lived in terraced houses at the 2021 Census, the largest group, ahead of semi-detached houses at 17%.
Can landlords in Abertillery get quotes?
Yes. 22% of households in Abertillery rent privately, and landlords can request a quote in the same way as owner-occupiers. Tenants should raise insulation with their landlord rather than arranging work themselves.
What if there’s damp or mould in my loft?
Mention it when you enquire. Damp or mouldy insulation normally needs removing, and the cause (a leak or poor ventilation, for example) dealing with, before new insulation goes in.
Which areas near Abertillery do you cover?
All of England and Wales. Close to Abertillery, that includes Ebbw Vale, Tredegar, Blackwood, Pontypool and Ystrad Mynach. See every town we list in Blaenau Gwent.
Will I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the loft hatch. We agree the details with you when you book.
My loft is boarded. Can it still be insulated?
Often, yes. Boards screwed straight onto the joists usually squash the insulation below. A common fix is to lift them, bring the insulation up to depth and fit raised boarding so you keep the storage space.
