Loft insulation in Windsor

Common loft jobs in Windsor

Semis make up 24% 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 27% of homes terraced, many lofts in Windsor 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.

Only top-floor flats sit under a loft, and in most blocks the roof space belongs to the freeholder or is managed by a management company or housing association. If you live in one of the 33% of Windsor homes that are flats, check who is responsible for the roof space before arranging work.

25% 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 Windsor: we also take enquiries from Slough, Egham, Maidenhead, Ascot and Bracknell 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.
