I rent in Thetford. 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.
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.
Do you cover places near Thetford?
Yes, we work across England and Wales, including Watton, Bury St Edmunds, Attleborough, Soham and Newmarket. See all the towns we list in Norfolk.
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.
