Insulating and boarding in Blaydon
Semi-detached houses account for 49%. A typical job: top up the old layer to full depth, lay a raised deck and fit a ladder.
31% of homes in Blaydon are terraced. Terrace lofts are small, so full-depth insulation is quick; a strip of raised boarding by the hatch is often all the storage there’s room for.
On the visit we note the size of the hatch and where a ladder would land, whether the old insulation is dry and clean and how much is stored up there now. It takes well under an hour.
