A warmer home in Leicester, from the top down

Loft insulation for Leicester homes

37% of homes in Leicester are semi-detached. Semis have one shared wall and a roomy loft, so getting the insulation right makes a real difference to the bedrooms.

With 27% of homes terraced, plenty of Leicester families have compact lofts above high-ceilinged bedrooms. A good layer of insulation keeps those rooms warm.

28% of households rent privately. If you rent, loft insulation is your landlord’s decision, and they can ask us for a quote.

Common clues are a loft nobody has looked in for years, a cold draught on the landing or boxes sitting on the insulation. We’ll take a look and tell you honestly what would help.
