What that means for your loft
Around two in five of homes in Ebbw Vale are terraced (46%). Small lofts mean smaller jobs, but storage often ends up on the insulation in a tight space, so many terrace jobs combine a top-up with a small area of raised boarding.
Semis make up 31% 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.

Loft insulation in Ebbw Vale: questions
How common are terraced houses in Ebbw Vale?
Very: 46% of households lived in terraced houses at the 2021 Census, the largest group, ahead of semi-detached houses at 31%.
Do you work in Ebbw Vale?
Yes. We work across England and Wales, including Ebbw Vale and the area around it. Send your postcode and we’ll be in touch.
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.
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.

Yes. We take enquiries from anywhere in England and Wales, so villages and smaller places around Ebbw Vale are covered too, as are nearby towns such as Tredegar, Abertillery, Merthyr Tydfil, Abergavenny and Blackwood. See every town we list in Blaenau Gwent.
I rent my home in Ebbw Vale. 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.
