Loft insulation in Gorleston-on-Sea’s homes

With 37% of homes terraced, many lofts in Gorleston-on-Sea 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.

Many semis have lofts that have been part-boarded over the years, often straight onto the joists. Where that has flattened the insulation underneath, raised boarding lets you keep the storage and restore the insulation; 23% of homes in Gorleston-on-Sea are semi-detached.

Private renting is common here (20% of households). Tenants should raise insulation with their landlord, who is responsible for the building; landlords can request a quote through us like any homeowner.
