Loft insulation in St Austell’s homes
31% of households in St Austell live in a semi-detached house. A typical semi has a loft big enough for storage, a hatch on the landing and one party wall to insulate up to; we check all three.
Rows of terraced homes account for 18% of the housing in St Austell. 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.
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.
How to get a quote
Coverage isn’t limited to St Austell: we also take enquiries from Bodmin, Newquay, Truro, Liskeard and Falmouth 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 St Austell: questions
How common are detached houses in St Austell?
Very: 31% of households lived in detached houses at the 2021 Census, the largest group, ahead of semi-detached houses at 31%.
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 rent my home in St Austell. 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.
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.
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.
