Keeping Brixham homes warm
Semi-detached homes account for 25%. Many were insulated years ago, and a top-up across the joists brings them up to today’s commonly recommended depth.
25% of Brixham’s homes are terraces. A draughty landing under the hatch is common in them, and an insulated hatch sorts it.
Renting is common in Brixham (21% privately). A warmer loft makes a rented home more comfortable, and landlords can book with us.
50% of households own outright, so many people have lived in their homes for years. Insulation laid back then is often thinner than recommended today.
Signs your loft could do more include bedrooms that never quite warm up, a chilly top-floor bathroom or ceilings upstairs that feel cold to the touch. We can help with every one of them.

Questions from homeowners in Brixham
What kind of homes are there in Brixham?
Mostly detached homes (29% of households in 2021), then semi-detached homes (25%).
Will it be messy?
We protect your landing, keep the dust in the loft and take the waste away.
Can I choose a natural material?
Yes, sheep’s wool or recycled polyester. They cost a little more than mineral wool.
My loft was insulated years ago. Should I add more?
If it’s level with the joists or below, a top-up is usually worthwhile.
My home is just outside Brixham. Can you help?
Of course. We cover Paignton, Torquay, Newton Abbot, Kingsteignton and Teignmouth and the villages around them. See all our towns in Torbay.
Can I keep using my loft for storage?
Yes. A raised floor above the insulation keeps your storage and your warmth.
