Common loft jobs in Spennymoor
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; 36% of homes in Spennymoor are semi-detached.
With 35% of homes terraced, many lofts in Spennymoor are long and narrow, bounded by party walls on both sides. Insulation should run right up to each party wall, and we check that the wall between lofts is complete, as in some older terraces it isn’t.

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.
I rent my home in Spennymoor. 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.
