Common loft jobs in Bicester
Many semis have lofts that have been part-boarded over the years, often straight onto the joists. Where that has flattened the insulation underneath, raised boarding lets you keep the storage and restore the insulation; 31% of homes in Bicester are semi-detached.
About a quarter of homes in Bicester are terraced (29%). Small lofts mean smaller jobs, but storage often ends up on the insulation in a tight space, so many terrace jobs combine a top-up with a small area of raised boarding.
21% of homes here are let privately. Landlords are responsible for the building, and a well-insulated loft is one of the more straightforward improvements to a rented home’s energy rating.

Loft insulation in Bicester: questions
How common are semi-detached houses in Bicester?

How much does loft insulation cost in Bicester?
It depends on the size of the loft, how much insulation is there now, whether old material needs removing and how easy the loft is to work in. We give you a written quotation after finding out about your home.
Do I need to empty my loft first?
Usually the floor of the loft needs to be clear so the whole area can be insulated. We will tell you what we need when you book.
I rent my home in Bicester. Can I get loft insulation?
Talk to your landlord first, as changes to the building are their decision and normally their cost. Landlords can ask us for a quote just as homeowners do.
Will I lose my loft storage?
Not necessarily. Raised boarding sits on supports above the insulation, so the insulation keeps its full depth and you keep somewhere to store things.
