Questions about loft insulation in Birtley
How many homes in Birtley are houses?
89% of households live in a house or bungalow and 12% 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.
I rent in Birtley. 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.
What will it cost in Birtley?
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.
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.
