Loft insulation in Cradley Heath’s homes
Many semis have lofts that have been part-boarded over the years, often straight onto the joists. Where that has flattened the insulation underneath, raised boarding lets you keep the storage and restore the insulation; 37% of homes in Cradley Heath are semi-detached.
Rows of terraced homes account for 25% of the housing in Cradley Heath. 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 Cradley Heath: questions
What kind of homes are there in Cradley Heath?
At the 2021 Census, 37% of households in Cradley Heath lived in semi-detached houses, 25% in terraced houses, 22% in flats and 17% in detached houses.
How deep should loft insulation be?
For mineral wool, 270mm is the depth commonly recommended in UK lofts. Other materials reach a similar level at different thicknesses.
I rent my home in Cradley Heath. 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.
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.
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.
Do you cover the villages around Cradley Heath?
Yes. We take enquiries from anywhere in England and Wales, so villages and smaller places around Cradley Heath are covered too, as are nearby towns such as Halesowen, Rowley Regis, Brierley Hill, Dudley and Oldbury. See every town we list in Sandwell.
