What homes in Liskeard are like
Some 10,900 people call Liskeard home, making up about 5,150 households (Census 2021). The biggest share of homes are terraced (32%), followed by semi-detached (28%), detached houses or bungalows (25%) and flats or maisonettes (15%).

What that means for your loft
Many semis have lofts that have been part-boarded over the years, often straight onto the joists. Where that has flattened the insulation underneath, raised boarding lets you keep the storage and restore the insulation; 28% of homes in Liskeard are semi-detached.
Terraced houses make up 32% of homes here. Their lofts tend to be smaller and are often reached through a narrow hatch on the landing, so access is one of the first things we look at. The insulation needs to meet the party walls on each side with no gaps.
Private renting is common here (24% of households). Tenants should raise insulation with their landlord, who is responsible for the building; landlords can request a quote through us like any homeowner.

Can landlords in Liskeard get quotes?

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 Liskeard do you cover?
What if there’s damp or mould in my loft?
Mention it when you enquire. Damp or mouldy insulation normally needs removing, and the cause (a leak or poor ventilation, for example) dealing with, before new insulation goes in.
