Common loft jobs in Penryn

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 Penryn are semi-detached.

Rows of terraced homes account for 25% of the housing in Penryn. 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.

28% 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.

What kind of homes are there in Penryn?

At the 2021 Census, 27% of households in Penryn lived in detached houses, 25% in semi-detached houses, 25% in terraced houses and 21% in flats.

Will I lose my loft storage?

Not necessarily. Raised boarding sits on supports above the insulation, so the insulation keeps its full depth and you keep somewhere to store things.

Why can’t I see prices on the website?

Because every loft is different. The area, what’s up there already, access and any extra work change the price, so we quote once we know about your home.

I live just outside Penryn. Can I still enquire?

Of course. Coverage isn’t limited to the town: enquiries come from right across England and Wales, including Falmouth, Redruth, Truro, Helston and Camborne. See every town we list in Cornwall.

Yes. We work across England and Wales, including Penryn and the area around it. Send your postcode and we’ll be in touch.

I rent my home in Penryn. Can I get loft insulation?

Talk to your landlord first, as changes to the building are their decision and normally their cost. Landlords can ask us for a quote just as homeowners do.
