Common loft jobs in Rhondda
Terraced houses make up 72% of homes here. Their lofts tend to be smaller and are often reached through a narrow hatch on the landing, so access is one of the first things we look at. The insulation needs to meet the party walls on each side with no gaps.
Semi-detached homes (11% here) share one party wall and often have a reasonable amount of loft space. That makes them good candidates for raised boarding over the insulation if you want to keep using the loft for storage.
21% 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.
40% of homes are owned outright, so many households have been in place for a long time. Insulation fitted when they moved in may be well short of today’s recommended depth, especially if the loft has been used for storage.
How to get a quote
Coverage isn’t limited to Rhondda: we also take enquiries from Tonypandy, Porth, Mountain Ash, Aberdare and Tonyrefail and the villages in between.
It helps to know whether your loft has insulation already and how deep it is, whether it’s boarded, and how easy the hatch is to get through. You don’t need to check before you enquire; we will ask.

Loft insulation in Rhondda: questions
What kind of homes are there in Rhondda?
At the 2021 Census, 72% of households in Rhondda lived in terraced houses, 11% in semi-detached houses, 9% in flats and 8% in detached houses.
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.
How long does the work take?
A typical loft is usually done within a day once booked. Removing old insulation first, fitting boarding or awkward access can add time; we will tell you when we quote.
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.
I rent my home in Rhondda. 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.
