Loft insulation in Falmouth’s homes
Semi-detached homes (28% here) share one party wall and often have a reasonable amount of loft space. That makes them good candidates for raised boarding over the insulation if you want to keep using the loft for storage.
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.
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.
25% of homes here are let privately. Landlords are responsible for the building, and a well-insulated loft is one of the more straightforward improvements to a rented home’s energy rating.

Loft insulation in Falmouth: questions
What kind of homes are there in Falmouth?
At the 2021 Census, 28% of households in Falmouth lived in semi-detached houses, 28% in flats, 26% in terraced houses and 17% in detached houses.
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.
I live just outside Falmouth. Can I still enquire?
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.
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.
