What homes in Helston are like

Census 2021 counted roughly 5,170 households in Helston, with a population of about 11,400. The biggest share of homes are detached houses or bungalows (32%), followed by semi-detached (27%), terraced (23%) and flats or maisonettes (15%).

What that means for your loft

With 27% of homes semi-detached, a common job in Helston is bringing an existing layer up to depth and adding raised storage boards so the insulation isn’t squashed.

About a quarter of homes in Helston are terraced (23%). 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.

Private renting is common here (23% 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.

Can landlords in Helston get quotes?

Yes. 23% of households in Helston 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.

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.
