Common loft jobs in Trowbridge

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; 32% of homes in Trowbridge are semi-detached.

With 23% of homes terraced, many lofts in Trowbridge 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.

How to get a quote

We take enquiries from across Trowbridge and the surrounding area, including Westbury, Melksham, Corsham, Bath and Frome.

If you can, mention anything you’ve noticed in the loft, such as damp patches, droppings or thin insulation. It helps us plan, but it isn’t essential.

Loft insulation in Trowbridge: questions

What kind of homes are there in Trowbridge?

At the 2021 Census, 32% of households in Trowbridge lived in semi-detached houses, 28% in detached houses, 23% in terraced houses and 16% in flats.

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.

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.

I live just outside Trowbridge. Can I still enquire?

Of course. Coverage isn’t limited to the town: enquiries come from right across England and Wales, including Westbury, Melksham, Corsham, Bath and Frome. See every town we list in Wiltshire.

Can landlords in Trowbridge get quotes?

Yes. 18% of households in Trowbridge 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.

How do I know if my loft needs more insulation?

If the insulation is level with or below the top of the joists, it’s likely well short of the 270mm commonly recommended for mineral wool. We will check when we look.
