Loft services in Bristol
What it means for the lofts here
With 25% of households in semis, a common job here is topping up insulation that was laid years ago and adding storage that doesn’t squash it.
About a third of homes here are terraced (31%). In a smaller loft, storage tends to end up sitting on the insulation, so a modest raised floor is often worth adding.
Flats and maisonettes account for 38% of homes here. If yours is on the top floor, the loft above is often shared, and the freeholder or managing agent will need to agree to any work.
Private renting is common in Bristol (27% of households). Landlords are responsible for the building, and a warm, well-ventilated loft is one of the simpler improvements to a rented home.
Bristol in numbers

Questions about loft insulation in Bristol
What are most homes in Bristol like?
The most common are flats (38% of households at the 2021 Census), followed by terraced houses at 31%.
Do you quote for landlords in Bristol?
Yes, in the same way as for homeowners.
I’m in a village outside Bristol. Can I still ask?
Of course. Villages and nearby towns such as Kingswood and Fishponds, Stoke Gifford, Filton, Keynsham and Patchway are all covered.
Does sheep’s wool insulate as well as mineral wool?
About as well, depth for depth. People choose it because it’s pleasant to handle and copes well with damp.
Can I keep my loft storage?
Yes. A floor raised on legs above the insulation keeps the storage without squashing the insulation.
Is natural insulation more expensive?
Usually, yes. Sheep’s wool and recycled polyester cost more than mineral wool; we can quote for both.
