Loft Insulation in Keynsham

From High Street terraces to Somerdale

The older core of Keynsham, around the High Street, Temple Street and the station, has stone and brick terraces and cottages from the Victorian era and earlier. Their lofts are compact, with uneven timbers and often a patchwork of old insulation that has been moved around by decades of rewiring and plumbing.

In the decades after the Second World War, Keynsham expanded rapidly, with estates of semis, terraces and bungalows spreading out around the old town. Some of these homes had polyurethane foam sprayed under the roof in later years, which can complicate a sale. On the newest estates, including Somerdale, lofts were insulated when built and usually need help with storage and access instead.

What Keynsham homes usually need

Loft Insulation in Keynsham

Post-war semis and bungalows in Keynsham usually have open lofts where a cross-layer of Knauf Earthwool brings them up to 270mm with little fuss.

Spray Foam Removal in Keynsham

If a previous owner had foam sprayed under the tiles, we can strip it, clean the timbers and re-insulate at the loft floor, which lenders and surveyors are generally more comfortable with.

Loft Ladders in Keynsham

A fitted aluminium ladder makes the loft of a family home far easier to use, and we choose one once we've measured the hatch and headroom.

Practical notes for Keynsham homes

Streets in the older part of town can be narrow with limited parking, so we'll check the best spot for the van when we book; on the post-war estates access is usually easier. Low-lying homes near the Avon and the Chew can be damp, and we check for condensation and mould before laying anything new. If you've been told your sprayed roof could be a problem, read our guide to removing spray foam insulation.

For a sense of costs before we visit, our loft insulation cost guide explains what affects the price. It's written with Cardiff in mind, but the same factors apply here.
