What we do for homes in Portishead
22% of the area’s homes are semi-detached. If you can see the joists in yours, there’s warmth to be kept.
13% of Portishead’s homes are terraces. A draughty landing under the hatch is common in them, and an insulated hatch sorts it.
Flats make up 28% of homes here. Top-floor flats can benefit most from loft insulation, with the freeholder’s agreement.
40% of households own outright, so many people have lived in their homes for years. Insulation laid back then is often thinner than recommended today.
In a Portishead home that needs more loft insulation, you might notice a cold draught on the landing, joists showing through thin insulation or the heating running for longer than you’d like. None of them need a big job to fix.

Can you insulate the loft above my flat?
Usually only with the freeholder’s or managing agent’s agreement. Check your lease first.
My home is just outside Portishead. Can you help?
Why insulate the loft first?
Heat rises, so the loft is where a lot of warmth can escape. It’s usually the simplest place to start.
