Loft insulation in Bath’s homes

Semis make up 23% 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.

Rows of terraced homes account for 32% of the housing in Bath. 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.

Around 35% of Bath homes are flats or maisonettes. If your flat is on the top floor, the loft above is often shared with neighbours or belongs to the freeholder, so permission comes first.

Private renting is common here (27% 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.
