Lofts in Redruth
Semis (27% of homes in Redruth) 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 31% of households in terraced homes, small lofts reached through a narrow landing hatch are common in Redruth. They’re quick to insulate well, as long as the eaves are kept clear.
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 Redruth
How many homes in Redruth are houses?
81% of households live in a house or bungalow and 19% in a flat or maisonette, according to the 2021 Census.
How deep should my loft insulation be?
Around 270 mm is the depth commonly recommended for mineral wool. We’ll suggest a depth for your loft in the quote.
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.
I rent in Redruth. 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.
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.
