Loft insulation in Cirencester’s homes
Semi-detached homes (26% 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.
28% of households in Cirencester live in a terraced house. Terrace lofts are usually compact, which keeps the amount of material down, but the work is in getting good coverage up to the party walls and into the eaves without blocking ventilation.
Around 27% of Cirencester homes are flats or maisonettes. If your flat is on the top floor, the loft above is often shared with neighbours or belongs to the freeholder, so permission comes first.

Loft insulation in Cirencester: questions
Are most homes in Cirencester houses or flats?
Houses: 72% of households live in a detached, semi-detached or terraced house or bungalow, and 27% in a flat or maisonette (Census 2021). The most common single type is terraced houses, at 28%.
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.
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.
Do you cover the villages around Cirencester?
Yes. We take enquiries from anywhere in England and Wales, so villages and smaller places around Cirencester are covered too, as are nearby towns such as Stroud, Royal Wootton Bassett, Swindon, Brockworth and Stratton St Margaret. See every town we list in Gloucestershire.
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 Cirencester get quotes?
Yes. 19% of households in Cirencester 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.
