Loft insulation for Paignton homes

Semi-detached homes account for 28%. Many were insulated years ago, and a top-up across the joists brings them up to today’s commonly recommended depth.

With 19% of homes terraced, plenty of Paignton families have compact lofts above high-ceilinged bedrooms. A good layer of insulation keeps those rooms warm.

26% of homes in Paignton are flats. If yours is on the top floor, the loft above usually belongs to the freeholder, so check your lease first.

With 22% renting privately, we often help landlords here, usually in a single day with tenants at home.

Many households here (41%) own outright. If your loft was done a long time ago, it’s worth a look.

In a Paignton home that needs more loft insulation, you might notice bedrooms that never quite warm up, a cold draught on the landing or the heating running for longer than you’d like. The loft is usually the place to start.
