Loft Insulation in Ely

Ely's estate homes and their lofts

The earlier parts of the estate are largely semis and short terraces with hipped or gabled roofs and modest lofts. Later post-war phases added more houses and some low-rise flats, generally with simpler roof designs. The construction is solid, but loft insulation was never part of the original build in the older phases.

What's up there now depends on what each household, or the council, added over the years. It's common to find a thin layer of early fibreglass, sometimes with a newer roll over part of the loft, and bare areas around the hatch and water tank.

Some homes in the area have also had spray foam applied to the roof underside at some point. As anywhere, it can trap moisture against the timbers and is worth checking for before you buy, sell or remortgage.

What Ely homes usually need

Loft Insulation in Ely

Most Ely estate lofts benefit from a full top-up to 270mm of Knauf Earthwool, including the bare patches around the hatch and tank.

Spray Foam Removal in Ely

If a previous owner had foam sprayed onto the roof, we remove it, clean the timbers and insulate at the joists instead.

Rodent Proofing in Ely

Older estate homes with gaps at the eaves and around service pipes can let mice in. We seal the entry points and replace spoiled insulation.

Lofts on the estate are generally easy to reach, though older hatches can be small or painted shut, and we'll free them carefully rather than force them. We'll agree where to park when we confirm your booking.
