The loft jobs we see in Birmingham
Semi-detached houses account for 35% 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.
29% of homes in Birmingham 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.
27% of homes in Birmingham 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.
23% 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 Birmingham
How many homes in Birmingham are houses?
73% of households live in a house or bungalow and 27% in a flat or maisonette, according to the 2021 Census.
What will it cost in Birmingham?
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.
Do you cover places near Birmingham?
Yes, we work across England and Wales, including Smethwick, Solihull, Royal Sutton Coldfield, West Bromwich and Oldbury. See all the towns we list in Birmingham.
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.
How long does the work take?
Most lofts are done in a day. Taking out old insulation or adding boarding can add time; the quote will say.
Can I insulate the loft above my top-floor flat?
Usually only with the freeholder’s or managing agent’s agreement. Check your lease, then let us know when you get in touch.
