What that means for your loft
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; 45% of homes in Ilkeston are semi-detached.
About a quarter of homes in Ilkeston are terraced (26%). 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.

Loft insulation in Ilkeston: questions
What kind of homes are there in Ilkeston?
At the 2021 Census, 45% of households in Ilkeston lived in semi-detached houses, 26% in terraced houses, 19% in detached houses and 10% in flats.
What if there’s damp or mould in my loft?

Can landlords in Ilkeston get quotes?
Yes. 19% of households in Ilkeston 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.
Will I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the loft hatch. We agree the details with you when you book.
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.
