What that means for your loft

42% of households in Blyth live in a semi-detached house. A typical semi has a loft big enough for storage, a hatch on the landing and one party wall to insulate up to; we check all three.

With 26% of homes terraced, many lofts in Blyth 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.

How to get a quote

We work in Blyth and neighbouring areas like Bedlington, Cramlington, Ashington, Whitley Bay and Killingworth.

It helps to know whether your loft has insulation already and how deep it is, whether it’s boarded, and how easy the hatch is to get through. You don’t need to check before you enquire; we will ask.

Loft insulation in Blyth: questions

How common are semi-detached houses in Blyth?

Very: 42% of households lived in semi-detached houses at the 2021 Census, the largest group, ahead of terraced houses at 26%.

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.

I live just outside Blyth. Can I still enquire?

Of course. Coverage isn’t limited to the town: enquiries come from right across England and Wales, including Bedlington, Cramlington, Ashington, Whitley Bay and Killingworth. See every town we list in Northumberland.

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.

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.

Can landlords in Blyth get quotes?

Yes. 16% of households in Blyth 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.
