What homes in Solihull are like
At the last census (2021), Solihull was home to around 108,000 people across some 46,800 households. Census 2021 shows semi-detached as the most common home type (45%), then detached houses or bungalows (28%); flats or maisonettes come to 18% and terraced to 9%. Well over two thirds of households are owner-occupiers (78%); private renters make up 14% and social renters 8%. Around 75% of homes have three or more bedrooms, and 30% have four or more. The median age of residents is 44.
What that means for your loft
Semi-detached homes (45% 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.
Fewer than one in ten of homes in Solihull are terraced (9%). 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.
43% 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.

Loft insulation in Solihull: questions
Are most homes in Solihull houses or flats?
Houses: 82% of households live in a detached, semi-detached or terraced house or bungalow, and 18% in a flat or maisonette (Census 2021). The most common single type is semi-detached houses, at 45%.

My loft was insulated years ago. Is that enough?
Possibly not. Older insulation was often laid thinner than the depth recommended today, and mineral wool settles over time. If it sits level with the top of the joists or below, a top-up is worth considering.
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 much does loft insulation cost in Solihull?
It depends on the size of the loft, how much insulation is there now, whether old material needs removing and how easy the loft is to work in. We give you a written quotation after finding out about your home.
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.
