Loft insulation in Hinckley’s homes
Semi-detached homes (37% 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.
With 17% of homes terraced, many lofts in Hinckley 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.
How to get a quote
We take enquiries from across Hinckley and the surrounding area, including Earl Shilton, Nuneaton, Bedworth, Enderby and Narborough and Lutterworth.
It helps to know whether your loft has insulation already and how deep it is, whether it’s boarded, and how easy the hatch is to get through. You don’t need to check before you enquire; we will ask.

Loft insulation in Hinckley: questions
How common are semi-detached houses in Hinckley?
Very: 37% of households lived in semi-detached houses at the 2021 Census, the largest group, ahead of detached houses at 34%.
Can landlords in Hinckley get quotes?
Yes. 16% of households in Hinckley 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.
Which areas near Hinckley do you cover?
All of England and Wales. Close to Hinckley, that includes Earl Shilton, Nuneaton, Bedworth, Enderby and Narborough and Lutterworth. See every town we list in Leicestershire.
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.
How do I know if my loft needs more insulation?
If the insulation is level with or below the top of the joists, it’s likely well short of the 270mm commonly recommended for mineral wool. We will check when we look.
Who will carry out the work?
We will. We look at the loft, quote in writing and, if you go ahead, carry out the work on a date that suits you.
