Loft services in Kingsteignton
Common loft jobs in Kingsteignton
Semis make up 33% 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 24% of homes terraced, many lofts in Kingsteignton 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 Kingsteignton: questions
How common are detached houses in Kingsteignton?

Can landlords in Kingsteignton get quotes?
Yes. 16% of households in Kingsteignton 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.
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.
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.
