What that means for your loft

Detached houses (48% here) often have room for a full storage platform. If that’s what you want, raised boarding over properly deep insulation keeps the house warm and the space usable.

Semi-detached homes (40% 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.

40% of households own their home outright. If your loft was last insulated many years ago, it may well be below the depth recommended today, as older layers were thinner and settle over time.

Loft insulation in Leicester Forest East and Kirby Muxloe: questions

Are most homes in Leicester Forest East and Kirby Muxloe houses or flats?

Houses: 96% of households live in a detached, semi-detached or terraced house or bungalow, and 4% in a flat or maisonette (Census 2021). The most common single type is detached houses, at 48%.

Is a big loft a problem?

No, it just takes more material and a little longer. Larger lofts also leave more room for raised storage boarding above the insulation if you want it.

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.

See every town we list in Leicestershire.

My loft was insulated years ago. Is that enough?

Possibly not. Older insulation was often laid thinner than the depth recommended today, and mineral wool settles over time. If it sits level with the top of the joists or below, a top-up is worth considering.

How much does loft insulation cost in Leicester Forest East and Kirby Muxloe?

It depends on the size of the loft, how much insulation is there now, whether old material needs removing and how easy the loft is to work in. We give you a written quotation after finding out about your home.
