Loft insulation in Sunderland’s homes
With 48% of homes semi-detached, a common job in Sunderland is bringing an existing layer up to depth and adding raised storage boards so the insulation isn’t squashed.
About a quarter of homes in Sunderland are terraced (26%). 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.
How to get a quote
We take enquiries from across Sunderland and the surrounding area, including Shiney Row and Penshaw, Washington, Houghton-le-Spring, South Shields and Seaham.
We will usually want to know the type of house, roughly when it was built, and whether there is any insulation in the loft already. Photos of the loft can help if it’s easy to take them.

Loft insulation in Sunderland: questions
Are most homes in Sunderland houses or flats?

My loft is boarded. Can it still be insulated?
Often, yes. Boards screwed straight onto the joists usually squash the insulation below. A common fix is to lift them, bring the insulation up to depth and fit raised boarding so you keep the storage space.
Who will carry out the work?
We will. We look at the loft, quote in writing and, if you go ahead, carry out the work on a date that suits you.
Can landlords in Sunderland get quotes?
Yes. 16% of households in Sunderland rent privately, and landlords can request a quote in the same way as owner-occupiers. Tenants should raise insulation with their landlord rather than arranging work themselves.
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.
