Loft insulation for Derby homes
Semi-detached homes account for 38%. Many were insulated years ago, and a top-up across the joists brings them up to today’s commonly recommended depth.
22% of Derby’s homes are terraces. A draughty landing under the hatch is common in them, and an insulated hatch sorts it.
21% of households rent privately. If you rent, loft insulation is your landlord’s decision, and they can ask us for a quote.
In a Derby home that needs more loft insulation, you might notice bedrooms that never quite warm up, a loft nobody has looked in for years or pipes in the loft that need protecting. It costs nothing to find out.

Questions from homeowners in Derby
Do most people in Derby live in houses?
85% of households live in a house or bungalow and 15% 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 deep should loft insulation be?
Around 270 mm is commonly recommended for mineral wool.
How long will it take?
Most lofts are done in a day.
I rent my home in Derby. Can I get my loft insulated?
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.
Do you cover homes near Derby?
Yes, across England and Wales, including Ilkeston, Long Eaton, Belper, Stapleford and Heanor.
