Common loft jobs in Blaydon

With 49% of homes semi-detached, a common job in Blaydon is bringing an existing layer up to depth and adding raised storage boards so the insulation isn’t squashed.

With 31% of homes terraced, many lofts in Blaydon 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.

Loft insulation in Blaydon: questions

Are most homes in Blaydon houses or flats?

Houses: 91% of households live in a detached, semi-detached or terraced house or bungalow, and 9% in a flat or maisonette (Census 2021). The most common single type is semi-detached houses, at 49%.

I live just outside Blaydon. Can I still enquire?

Can landlords in Blaydon get quotes?

Yes. 14% of households in Blaydon 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.

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.

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.

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.
