What that means for your loft
37% of households in Chester-le-Street 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.
Rows of terraced homes account for 30% of the housing in Chester-le-Street. 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.

Loft insulation in Chester-le-Street: questions
What kind of homes are there in Chester-le-Street?
At the 2021 Census, 37% of households in Chester-le-Street lived in semi-detached houses, 30% in terraced houses, 21% in detached houses and 11% in flats.
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.
Do you cover the villages around Chester-le-Street?
Yes. We take enquiries from anywhere in England and Wales, so villages and smaller places around Chester-le-Street are covered too, as are nearby towns such as Birtley, Shiney Row and Penshaw, Washington, Houghton-le-Spring and Stanley. See every town we list in County Durham.
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 Chester-le-Street. 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.
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.
