Loft insulation for St Ives homes
32% of homes in St Ives are semi-detached. Semis have one shared wall and a roomy loft, so getting the insulation right makes a real difference to the bedrooms.
Terraced homes make up 23% of the area. Their lofts are usually small, so insulating them properly is quick and makes the upstairs noticeably cosier.
21% of households rent privately. If you rent, loft insulation is your landlord’s decision, and they can ask us for a quote.
Signs your loft could do more include joists showing through thin insulation, an icy hatch above the stairs or warmth that fades soon after the heating goes off. The loft is usually the place to start.
