What it means for the lofts here
Semi-detached houses account for 32% 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 St Ives 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.
21% 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 St Ives
How many homes in St Ives are houses?
84% of households live in a house or bungalow and 15% 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.
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.
I rent in St Ives. Can I have my loft insulated?
It’s your landlord’s decision, as they’re responsible for the building. Landlords can ask us for a quote.
