Loft insulation in Newcastle upon Tyne’s homes

Semis make up 33% of homes here. In many, the loft is used for storage and the insulation has been pushed aside or flattened over the years, so even an insulated loft can be worth a second look.

24% of households in Newcastle upon Tyne 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.

34% of households here live in flats. A flat usually only has a loft above it on the top floor, and work in a shared roof space needs the agreement of whoever manages the building, so mention this when you enquire.

24% 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 Newcastle upon Tyne: questions

Are most homes in Newcastle upon Tyne houses or flats?

Houses: 66% of households live in a detached, semi-detached or terraced house or bungalow, and 34% in a flat or maisonette (Census 2021). The most common single type is flats, at 34%.

How long does the work take?

A typical loft is usually done within a day once booked. Removing old insulation first, fitting boarding or awkward access can add time; we will tell you when we quote.

Do I need to empty my loft first?

Usually the floor of the loft needs to be clear so the whole area can be insulated. We will tell you what we need when you book.

I live in a top-floor flat. Can I insulate the loft above me?

Usually only with the agreement of whoever owns or manages the roof space, often the freeholder or a management company. Check that first, then mention it when you enquire.

Do you cover the villages around Newcastle upon Tyne?

Yes. We take enquiries from anywhere in England and Wales, so villages and smaller places around Newcastle upon Tyne are covered too, as are nearby towns such as Longbenton, Blaydon, Killingworth, Whickham and Gateshead.

I rent my home in Newcastle upon Tyne. 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.
