Loft insulation in Aberystwyth’s homes

Only top-floor flats sit under a loft, and in most blocks the roof space belongs to the freeholder or is managed by a management company or housing association. If you live in one of the 38% of Aberystwyth homes that are flats, check who is responsible for the roof space before arranging work.

With 25% of homes terraced, many lofts in Aberystwyth are long and narrow, bounded by party walls on both sides. Insulation should run right up to each party wall, and we check that the wall between lofts is complete, as in some older terraces it isn’t.

Private renting is common here (38% of households). Tenants should raise insulation with their landlord, who is responsible for the building; landlords can request a quote through us like any homeowner.

Loft insulation in Aberystwyth: questions

How common are flats in Aberystwyth?

Very: 38% of households lived in flats at the 2021 Census, the largest group, ahead of terraced houses at 25%.

I live just outside Aberystwyth. Can I still enquire?

Of course. Coverage isn’t limited to the town: enquiries come from right across England and Wales, including Newtown, Carmarthen, Llanelli, Gorseinon and Oswestry.

I live in a top-floor flat. Can I insulate the loft above me?

Usually only with the agreement of whoever owns or manages the roof space, often the freeholder or a management company. Check that first, then mention it when you enquire.

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.

Can landlords in Aberystwyth get quotes?

Yes. 38% of households in Aberystwyth 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.

How do I know if my loft needs more insulation?

If the insulation is level with or below the top of the joists, it’s likely well short of the 270mm commonly recommended for mineral wool. We will check when we look.
