Keeping Hitchin homes warm
Semi-detached homes account for 33%. Many were insulated years ago, and a top-up across the joists brings them up to today’s commonly recommended depth.
19% of homes in Hitchin 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.
Flats make up 29% of homes here. Top-floor flats can benefit most from loft insulation, with the freeholder’s agreement.
In a Hitchin home that needs more loft insulation, you might notice an icy hatch above the stairs, a cold draught on the landing or boxes sitting on the insulation. We can help with every one of them.

Questions from homeowners in Hitchin
What kind of homes are there in Hitchin?
Mostly semi-detached homes (33% of households in 2021), then flats (29%).
Can you insulate the loft above my flat?
Usually only with the freeholder’s or managing agent’s agreement. Check your lease first.
Can I keep using my loft for storage?
Yes. A raised floor above the insulation keeps your storage and your warmth.
My home is just outside Hitchin. Can you help?
Of course. We cover Letchworth, Baldock, Stotfold, Stevenage and Luton and the villages around them. See all our towns in Hertfordshire.
Can I choose a natural material?
Yes, sheep’s wool or recycled polyester. They cost a little more than mineral wool.
Will it be messy?
We protect your landing, keep the dust in the loft and take the waste away.
