What it means for the lofts here
Semi-detached houses account for 34% 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.
23% of homes in Dunstable 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.
28% of homes in Dunstable 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.

I rent in Dunstable. 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 Dunstable?
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.
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.
