Loft insulation in Cambridge’s homes
37% of households here live in flats. A flat usually only has a loft above it on the top floor, and work in a shared roof space needs the agreement of whoever manages the building, so mention this when you enquire.
Rows of terraced homes account for 27% of the housing in Cambridge. 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.
32% 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.

Coverage isn’t limited to Cambridge: we also take enquiries from Cambourne, Newmarket, Soham, Royston and St Ives and the villages in between.
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 Cambridge: questions
What kind of homes are there in Cambridge?
At the 2021 Census, 37% of households in Cambridge lived in flats, 27% in terraced houses, 25% in semi-detached houses and 11% in detached houses.
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.
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.
I live in a top-floor flat. Can I insulate the loft above me?
Usually only with the agreement of whoever owns or manages the roof space, often the freeholder or a management company. Check that first, then mention it when you enquire.
Which areas near Cambridge do you cover?
I rent my home in Cambridge. Can I get loft insulation?
Talk to your landlord first, as changes to the building are their decision and normally their cost. Council and housing association tenants should contact their landlord’s repairs or maintenance team. Landlords can ask us for a quote just as homeowners do.
