Loft insulation in Leicester’s homes
Semi-detached homes (37% 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.
27% of households in Leicester live in a terraced house. Terrace lofts are usually compact, which keeps the amount of material down, but the work is in getting good coverage up to the party walls and into the eaves without blocking ventilation.
28% of homes here are let privately. Landlords are responsible for the building, and a well-insulated loft is one of the more straightforward improvements to a rented home’s energy rating.

Loft insulation in Leicester: questions
What kind of homes are there in Leicester?

Which areas near Leicester do you cover?

Do you work in Leicester?
Yes. We work across England and Wales, including Leicester and the area around it. Send your postcode and we’ll be in touch.
Will I lose my loft storage?
Not necessarily. Raised boarding sits on supports above the insulation, so the insulation keeps its full depth and you keep somewhere to store things.
I rent my home in Leicester. Can I get loft insulation?
Talk to your landlord first, as changes to the building are their decision and normally their cost. Council and housing association tenants should contact their landlord’s repairs or maintenance team. Landlords can ask us for a quote just as homeowners do.
Why can’t I see prices on the website?
Because every loft is different. The area, what’s up there already, access and any extra work change the price, so we quote once we know about your home.
