Loft insulation in Newmarket’s homes
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; 25% of homes in Newmarket are semi-detached.
Rows of terraced homes account for 27% of the housing in Newmarket. In a terrace, heat can be lost through a thin or patchy layer just as easily as through an empty loft, so we look at how even the existing insulation is as well as how deep.
27% 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.
30% 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.
How to get a quote
Coverage isn’t limited to Newmarket: we also take enquiries from Soham, Haverhill, Cambridge, Ely and Bury St Edmunds and the villages in between.
We will usually want to know the type of house, roughly when it was built, and whether there is any insulation in the loft already. Photos of the loft can help if it’s easy to take them.

Loft insulation in Newmarket: questions
Are most homes in Newmarket houses or flats?
Houses: 73% of households live in a detached, semi-detached or terraced house or bungalow, and 27% in a flat or maisonette (Census 2021). The most common single type is terraced houses, at 27%.
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.
I live just outside Newmarket. Can I still enquire?
I rent my home in Newmarket. 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.
How much does loft insulation cost in Newmarket?
It depends on the size of the loft, how much insulation is there now, whether old material needs removing and how easy the loft is to work in. We give you a written quotation after finding out about your home.
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.
