Loft insulation for Penzance homes
About one in eight of homes here are semis (16%), often family homes where the loft has been filling up for years.
37% of homes in Penzance 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.
34% of homes in Penzance are flats. If yours is on the top floor, the loft above usually belongs to the freeholder, so check your lease first.
With 25% renting privately, we often help landlords here, usually in a single day with tenants at home.
Signs your loft could do more include an icy hatch above the stairs, old, flattened insulation in the loft or the heating running for longer than you’d like. It costs nothing to find out.
