What that means for your loft

Semis make up 37% of homes here. In many, the loft is used for storage and the insulation has been pushed aside or flattened over the years, so even an insulated loft can be worth a second look.

With 22% of homes terraced, many lofts in Ivybridge 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.

Loft insulation in Ivybridge: questions

How common are semi-detached houses in Ivybridge?

Very: 37% of households lived in semi-detached houses at the 2021 Census, the largest group, ahead of detached houses at 35%.

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.

Can landlords in Ivybridge get quotes?

Yes. 15% of households in Ivybridge 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.

Can you give me a price for Ivybridge?

Yes, once we know about your loft. Size, existing insulation, access and any boarding or removal all affect it, and it’s confirmed in writing before you agree to anything.

Do you cover the villages around Ivybridge?

Yes. We take enquiries from anywhere in England and Wales, so villages and smaller places around Ivybridge are covered too, as are nearby towns such as Plymouth, Saltash, Tavistock, Paignton and Newton Abbot. See every town we list in Devon.
