Loft insulation in Shrewsbury’s homes

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; 38% of homes in Shrewsbury are semi-detached.

Rows of terraced homes account for 23% of the housing in Shrewsbury. 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.

Loft insulation in Shrewsbury: questions

Are most homes in Shrewsbury houses or flats?

Houses: 85% of households live in a detached, semi-detached or terraced house or bungalow, and 15% in a flat or maisonette (Census 2021). The most common single type is semi-detached houses, at 38%.

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

Talk to your landlord first, as changes to the building are their decision and normally their cost. Council and housing association tenants should contact their landlord’s repairs or maintenance team. Landlords can ask us for a quote just as homeowners do.

I live just outside Shrewsbury. Can I still enquire?

Of course. Coverage isn’t limited to the town: enquiries come from right across England and Wales, including Telford, Oswestry, Newport, Market Drayton and Bridgnorth. See every town we list in Shropshire.

How deep should loft insulation be?

For mineral wool, 270mm is the depth commonly recommended in UK lofts. Other materials reach a similar level at different thicknesses.

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.

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