Loft insulation in Consett’s homes
With 36% of homes semi-detached, a common job in Consett is bringing an existing layer up to depth and adding raised storage boards so the insulation isn’t squashed.
Rows of terraced homes account for 38% of the housing in Consett. 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 Consett: questions
What kind of homes are there in Consett?
At the 2021 Census, 38% of households in Consett lived in terraced houses, 36% in semi-detached houses, 20% in detached houses and 6% in flats.
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.
Do you cover the villages around Consett?
Yes. We take enquiries from anywhere in England and Wales, so villages and smaller places around Consett are covered too, as are nearby towns such as Stanley, Prudhoe, Whickham, Blaydon and Chester-le-Street. See every town we list in County Durham.
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.
I rent my home in Consett. 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.
Can you give me a price for Consett?
Yes, once we know about your loft. Size, existing insulation, access and any boarding or removal all affect it, and it’s confirmed in writing before you agree to anything.
