Loft insulation for Birtley homes
41% of the area’s homes are semi-detached. If you can see the joists in yours, there’s warmth to be kept.
32% of homes in Birtley are terraced. Terraced houses share walls with their neighbours, which helps, but the roof is still where most warmth can slip away, so the loft is the place to start.
Homeowners often tell us about boxes sitting on the insulation, an icy hatch above the stairs or old, flattened insulation in the loft. It costs nothing to find out.

It’s your landlord’s decision, as they look after the building. Council and housing association tenants should ask their landlord. Landlords can ask us for a quote.
