Questions about loft insulation in Aberdare
What are most homes in Aberdare like?
The most common are terraced houses (46% of households at the 2021 Census), followed by semi-detached houses at 26%.
Is sheep’s wool a good idea in an older terrace?
It can be: it copes well with moisture, which suits older homes. Mineral wool also works in a well-ventilated loft, and costs less.
I’m in a village outside Aberdare. Can I still ask?
Of course. Villages and nearby towns such as Mountain Ash, Merthyr Tydfil, Rhondda, Tonypandy and Porth are all covered. See all the towns we list in Rhondda Cynon Taff.
Can I keep my loft storage?
Yes. A floor raised on legs above the insulation keeps the storage without squashing the insulation.
Do I need to clear the loft first?
The floor needs to be clear. If that’s a big job, tell us and we can include it.
Is natural insulation more expensive?
Usually, yes. Sheep’s wool and recycled polyester cost more than mineral wool; we can quote for both.
