Common loft jobs in Ely

26% of households in Ely live in a semi-detached house. A typical semi has a loft big enough for storage, a hatch on the landing and one party wall to insulate up to; we check all three.

Terraced houses make up 26% of homes here. Their lofts tend to be smaller and are often reached through a narrow hatch on the landing, so access is one of the first things we look at. The insulation needs to meet the party walls on each side with no gaps.

With 20% of households in private rented homes, tenants in Ely should talk to their landlord about insulation. Most improvements to the building are the landlord’s to arrange.

Loft insulation in Ely: questions

How common are detached houses in Ely?

Very: 33% of households lived in detached houses at the 2021 Census, the largest group, ahead of semi-detached houses at 26%.

Do you cover the villages around Ely?

Yes. We take enquiries from anywhere in England and Wales, so villages and smaller places around Ely are covered too, as are nearby towns such as Soham, Chatteris, Newmarket, March and Cambridge. See every town we list in Cambridgeshire.

Can landlords in Ely get quotes?

Yes. 20% of households in Ely 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.

Why can’t I see prices on the website?

Because every loft is different. The area, what’s up there already, access and any extra work change the price, so we quote once we know about your home.

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.

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.
