What that means for your loft

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; 36% of homes in Brighouse are semi-detached.

With 32% of homes terraced, many lofts in Brighouse 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 deep should loft insulation be?

I live just outside Brighouse. Can I still enquire?

Of course. Coverage isn’t limited to the town: enquiries come from right across England and Wales, including Elland, Cleckheaton, Liversedge, Huddersfield and Mirfield. See every town we list in Calderdale.

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.

I rent my home in Brighouse. 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.

How long does the work take?

A typical loft is usually done within a day once booked. Removing old insulation first, fitting boarding or awkward access can add time; we will tell you when we quote.
