Common loft jobs in Oldbury
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; 52% of homes in Oldbury are semi-detached.
22% of households in Oldbury 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.

Loft insulation in Oldbury: questions
What kind of homes are there in Oldbury?
At the 2021 Census, 52% of households in Oldbury lived in semi-detached houses, 22% in terraced houses, 17% in flats and 10% in detached houses.

Can you give me a price for Oldbury?
Yes, once we know about your loft. Size, existing insulation, access and any boarding or removal all affect it, and it’s confirmed in writing before you agree to anything.
Can landlords in Oldbury get quotes?
Yes. 19% of households in Oldbury 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.
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.
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.
