Nottingham’s housing at a glance
Some 300,000 people call Nottingham home, making up about 124,000 households (Census 2021). The biggest share of homes are semi-detached (32%), followed by terraced (26%), flats or maisonettes (26%) and detached houses or bungalows (16%). Around two in five of households are owner-occupiers (45%); private renters make up 30% and social renters 25%. More than half of homes (56%) have at least three bedrooms. The median age of residents is 30.
Common loft jobs in Nottingham
With 32% of homes semi-detached, a common job in Nottingham is bringing an existing layer up to depth and adding raised storage boards so the insulation isn’t squashed.
About a quarter of homes in Nottingham are terraced (26%). Small lofts mean smaller jobs, but storage often ends up on the insulation in a tight space, so many terrace jobs combine a top-up with a small area of raised boarding.
Only top-floor flats sit under a loft, and in most blocks the roof space belongs to the freeholder or is managed by a management company or housing association. If you live in one of the 26% of Nottingham homes that are flats, check who is responsible for the roof space before arranging work.
Private renting is common here (30% 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 Nottingham and the surrounding area, including Arnold, West Bridgford, Beeston, Carlton and Clifton.
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 Nottingham: questions
What kind of homes are there in Nottingham?
At the 2021 Census, 32% of households in Nottingham lived in semi-detached houses, 26% in terraced houses, 26% in flats and 16% in detached houses.
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.
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.
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.
Do you cover the villages around Nottingham?
Yes. We take enquiries from anywhere in England and Wales, so villages and smaller places around Nottingham are covered too, as are nearby towns such as Arnold, West Bridgford, Beeston, Carlton and Clifton. See every town we list in Nottingham.
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.
