Common loft jobs in Loughborough
With 36% of homes semi-detached, a common job in Loughborough is bringing an existing layer up to depth and adding raised storage boards so the insulation isn’t squashed.
With 22% of homes terraced, many lofts in Loughborough 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.
Private renting is common here (25% 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.
How to get a quote
We take enquiries from across Loughborough and the surrounding area, including Shepshed, Mountsorrel, Whitwick, Coalville and Birstall.
If you can, mention anything you’ve noticed in the loft, such as damp patches, droppings or thin insulation. It helps us plan, but it isn’t essential.

Loft insulation in Loughborough: questions
What kind of homes are there in Loughborough?
At the 2021 Census, 36% of households in Loughborough lived in semi-detached houses, 23% in detached houses, 22% in terraced houses and 19% in flats.
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.
Can landlords in Loughborough get quotes?
Yes. 25% of households in Loughborough 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 Loughborough?
Yes. We take enquiries from anywhere in England and Wales, so villages and smaller places around Loughborough are covered too, as are nearby towns such as Shepshed, Mountsorrel, Whitwick, Coalville and Birstall. See every town we list in Leicestershire.
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.
