What homes in Filton are like

Some 11,000 people call Filton home, making up about 4,720 households (Census 2021). Census 2021 shows semi-detached as the most common home type (36%), then terraced (33%); flats or maisonettes come to 22% and detached houses or bungalows to 6%. Home ownership stands at 60% (31% own outright), with 27% of households renting privately and 14% in social housing. The median age of residents is 34.

What that means for your loft

36% of households in Filton 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.

With 33% of homes terraced, many lofts in Filton are long and narrow, bounded by party walls on both sides. Insulation should run right up to each party wall, and we check that the wall between lofts is complete, as in some older terraces it isn’t.

27% of households in Filton rent privately. If you’re a tenant, speak to your landlord: they arrange and pay for improvements to the building. Privately rented homes in England and Wales generally need an energy performance rating of at least E to be let.

Loft insulation in Filton: questions

What kind of homes are there in Filton?

At the 2021 Census, 36% of households in Filton lived in semi-detached houses, 33% in terraced houses, 22% in flats and 6% in detached houses.

I live just outside Filton. Can I still enquire?

I rent my home in Filton. Can I get loft insulation?

Talk to your landlord first, as changes to the building are their decision and normally their cost. Landlords can ask us for a quote just as homeowners do.

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.

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.
