Common loft jobs in Newton Aycliffe

28% of households in Newton Aycliffe live in a semi-detached house. A typical semi has a loft big enough for storage, a hatch on the landing and one party wall to insulate up to; we check all three.

Loft insulation in Newton Aycliffe: questions

How common are terraced houses in Newton Aycliffe?

Very: 44% of households lived in terraced houses at the 2021 Census, the largest group, ahead of semi-detached houses at 28%.

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.

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.

Does a terraced house need anything different?

The main things are getting insulation right up to the party walls, checking those walls are complete between lofts, and working through what is often a small hatch. Lofts are usually compact, so less material is needed.

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.

I live just outside Newton Aycliffe. Can I still enquire?

Of course. Coverage isn’t limited to the town: enquiries come from right across England and Wales, including Bishop Auckland, Spennymoor, Darlington, Stockton-on-Tees and Egglescliffe. See every town we list in County Durham.
