Common loft jobs in Jarrow

Semi-detached homes (49% 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.

Rows of terraced homes account for 30% of the housing in Jarrow. In a terrace, heat can be lost through a thin or patchy layer just as easily as through an empty loft, so we look at how even the existing insulation is as well as how deep.

Loft insulation in Jarrow: questions

What kind of homes are there in Jarrow?

At the 2021 Census, 49% of households in Jarrow lived in semi-detached houses, 30% in terraced houses, 16% in flats and 5% in detached houses.

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.

Can landlords in Jarrow get quotes?

Yes. 10% of households in Jarrow 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.

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.

Which areas near Jarrow do you cover?

All of England and Wales. Close to Jarrow, that includes Hebburn, South Shields, Wallsend, Tynemouth and Gateshead. See every town we list in South Tyneside.

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.
