What it means for the lofts here
Semi-detached houses account for 23% of homes. In many, an older thin layer just needs bringing up to depth with a second layer across the joists, in mineral wool or a natural alternative.
32% of homes in Bath are terraced. Terrace lofts are usually compact, with brick party walls either side; the insulation should meet each wall without gaps, and we check the walls themselves are complete.
35% of homes in Bath are flats. Only the top floor sits under a roof space, which usually belongs to the freeholder, so it’s worth checking your lease before planning any work.
27% of households rent privately. If you’re renting, insulation is something to raise with your landlord, who looks after the building; landlords can ask us for a quote in the usual way.

Questions about loft insulation in Bath
How many homes in Bath are houses?
65% of households live in a house or bungalow and 35% in a flat or maisonette, according to the 2021 Census.
My loft is boarded straight onto the joists. Is that a problem?
It usually means the insulation underneath is squashed. We can lift the boards, insulate properly and refit them on a raised floor.
Where will the insulation go?
On the loft floor, between the joists and in a layer across them, with the eaves left clear for air.
What will it cost in Bath?
It depends on the size of the loft, what’s there now, the material and how easy the loft is to work in. We quote in writing, for free.

I rent in Bath. Can I have my loft insulated?
It’s your landlord’s decision, as they’re responsible for the building. Council and housing association tenants should contact their landlord’s repairs team. Landlords can ask us for a quote.
