Common loft jobs in Carmarthen
Semi-detached homes (29% here) share one party wall and often have a reasonable amount of loft space. That makes them good candidates for raised boarding over the insulation if you want to keep using the loft for storage.
Terraced houses make up 24% of homes here. Their lofts tend to be smaller and are often reached through a narrow hatch on the landing, so access is one of the first things we look at. The insulation needs to meet the party walls on each side with no gaps.
With 22% of households in private rented homes, tenants in Carmarthen should talk to their landlord about insulation. Most improvements to the building are the landlord’s to arrange.

What if there’s damp or mould in my loft?

Which areas near Carmarthen do you cover?
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.
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.
