What that means for your loft
Semis make up 34% of homes here. In many, the loft is used for storage and the insulation has been pushed aside or flattened over the years, so even an insulated loft can be worth a second look.
Rows of terraced homes account for 23% of the housing in Dunstable. 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.
28% of households here live in flats. A flat usually only has a loft above it on the top floor, and work in a shared roof space needs the agreement of whoever manages the building, so mention this when you enquire.

Loft insulation in Dunstable: questions
What kind of homes are there in Dunstable?
At the 2021 Census, 34% of households in Dunstable lived in semi-detached houses, 28% in flats, 23% in terraced houses and 15% in detached houses.
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.
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.
I live in a top-floor flat. Can I insulate the loft above me?
Usually only with the agreement of whoever owns or manages the roof space, often the freeholder or a management company. Check that first, then mention it when you enquire.
Which areas near Dunstable do you cover?
All of England and Wales. Close to Dunstable, that includes Houghton Regis, Luton, Leighton Buzzard, Tring and Flitwick. See every town we list in Central Bedfordshire.
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.
