Loft insulation for Peterlee homes
Semi-detached homes account for 42%. Many were insulated years ago, and a top-up across the joists brings them up to today’s commonly recommended depth.
About a third of homes here are terraced (33%). Older terraces often suit natural materials like sheep’s wool, which cope well with moisture.
It’s worth getting a quote if you’ve noticed a cold draught on the landing, a top floor that feels colder than downstairs or the heating running for longer than you’d like. The loft is usually the place to start.

Questions from homeowners in Peterlee
Do most people in Peterlee live in houses?

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.
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.
I rent my home in Peterlee. 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.
