A warmer home in Aberdare

With 46% of homes terraced, plenty of Aberdare families have compact lofts above high-ceilinged bedrooms. A good layer of insulation keeps those rooms warm.

Semi-detached homes account for 26%. Many were insulated years ago, and a top-up across the joists brings them up to today’s commonly recommended depth.

Common clues are joists showing through thin insulation, a top floor that feels colder than downstairs or boxes sitting on the insulation. We’ll take a look and tell you honestly what would help.

Questions from homeowners in Aberdare

Do most people in Aberdare live in houses?

90% of households live in a house or bungalow and 10% in a flat (2021 Census).

My loft is boarded. Is the insulation underneath enough?

Often not, because boards on the joists squash it. We can lift them, insulate and put them back on legs.

How much does loft insulation cost in Aberdare?

It depends on the size of your loft, what’s there now and the material. We’ll give you a free, written quote.

Where does the insulation go?

On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear for air.

Is sheep’s wool good for an older terrace?

It can be, as it copes well with moisture. Mineral wool works too and costs less; we can quote for both.

Do you cover homes near Aberdare?

Yes, across England and Wales, including Mountain Ash, Merthyr Tydfil, Rhondda, Tonypandy and Porth. See all our towns in Rhondda Cynon Taff.
