Loft services in Newport, Isle of Wight
What kind of homes Newport has

What it means for the lofts here
Semis (31% of homes in Newport) often have lofts that have slowly filled with boxes. Insulation pressed flat underneath works far less well; raising the storage lets it recover its depth.
With 26% of households in terraced homes, small lofts reached through a narrow landing hatch are common in Newport. They’re quick to insulate well, as long as the eaves are kept clear.
22% 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 Newport
How many homes in Newport are houses?
78% of households live in a house or bungalow and 20% in a flat or maisonette, according to the 2021 Census.
I rent in Newport. 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.
Do you cover places near Newport?
Yes, we work across England and Wales, including Cowes, Ryde, Sandown, Lee-on-the-Solent and Gosport. See all the towns we list in Isle of Wight.
What will it cost in Newport?
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.
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.
