Loft Insulation in Caerphilly

Caerphilly homes and their lofts

Around the castle and the older parts of town you'll find terraced streets from the late Victorian and Edwardian period, many built in local stone and stepping up the hillsides. These houses typically have shallow lofts, small hatches and party walls shared with neighbours. Insulation, where there is any, is often thin and patchy.

Caerphilly also expanded a great deal after the war, with large estates of semis and terraces and, later, private estates of family homes on the edges of town. Those lofts are more uniform and easier to work in. In both, the weather is a factor: the valleys get a lot of rain, and roofs facing the prevailing wind take a pounding, so we pay close attention to ventilation and the condition of the timbers.

What Caerphilly homes usually need

Loft Insulation in Caerphilly

Caerphilly's post-war estates usually have roomy, straightforward lofts where a mineral wool top-up to 270mm makes a real difference to how warm the house feels.

Spray Foam Removal in Caerphilly

Some older valley homes had spray foam put on the roof underside to hold slipped slates in place, and we remove it, clean the timbers and re-insulate properly.

Loft Mould Treatment in Caerphilly

Heavy rainfall and cold hillside roofs mean condensation and mould are common here, so we treat the timbers and sort the ventilation that caused it.

Hills, rain and terraced streets

Many of Caerphilly's terraces are on steep, narrow streets, so we plan van parking and carrying routes before the day. Valley weather means we always check the underside of the roof for leaks and mould before laying anything new; insulation over a wet problem only hides it.

If your loft has been sprayed with foam, it's worth knowing that many surveyors and mortgage lenders now flag it during a sale. Our spray foam removal guide explains why, and our spray foam removal service covers the job from start to finish.
