Common loft jobs in Telford
Semis make up 38% of homes here. In many, the loft is used for storage and the insulation has been pushed aside or flattened over the years, so even an insulated loft can be worth a second look.
With 22% of homes terraced, many lofts in Telford 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.
22% of households in Telford rent privately. If you’re a tenant, speak to your landlord: they arrange and pay for improvements to the building. Privately rented homes in England and Wales generally need an energy performance rating of at least E to be let.

Loft insulation in Telford: questions
What kind of homes are there in Telford?
At the 2021 Census, 38% of households in Telford lived in semi-detached houses, 28% in detached houses, 22% in terraced houses and 11% in flats.
I rent my home in Telford. 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.

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