Common loft jobs in Letchworth

Semi-detached homes (25% 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.

33% of households in Letchworth 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.

Loft insulation in Letchworth: questions

Are most homes in Letchworth houses or flats?

Houses: 77% of households live in a detached, semi-detached or terraced house or bungalow, and 22% in a flat or maisonette (Census 2021). The most common single type is terraced houses, at 33%.

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.

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.

Can landlords in Letchworth get quotes?

Yes. 12% of households in Letchworth 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.

Do you cover the villages around Letchworth?

Yes. We take enquiries from anywhere in England and Wales, so villages and smaller places around Letchworth are covered too, as are nearby towns such as Baldock, Stotfold, Hitchin, Stevenage and Biggleswade. See every town we list in Hertfordshire.

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.
