The loft jobs we do in Colchester
30% of homes in Colchester are semis. Many have tall lofts with good headroom, just right for a raised storage floor over full-depth insulation.
21% of homes in Colchester 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.
Flats make up 26% of homes. For a top-floor flat, the freeholder or managing agent normally has to agree to loft work.
26% of households rent privately. Landlords can book us; most rental lofts are done in a day with the tenants at home.
Our quote is based on whether the roof is trussed or traditional, whether the old insulation is dry and clean and how deep and how far apart the joists are. That’s what decides the depth, the boarded area and the ladder.
