Lofts in Plymouth
29% of Plymouth’s housing is semi-detached. In older semis the hatch is often small; we can enlarge it for a ladder.
Terraces are 32% of the housing here. Many have narrow landing hatches, so a slim folding ladder makes a big difference.
Flats make up 27% of homes. For a top-floor flat, the freeholder or managing agent normally has to agree to loft work.
With 23% of homes let privately, we often work for landlords here and send photos when we’re done.
On the visit we note the size of the hatch and where a ladder would land, the depth of the insulation in a few places and whether the eaves are clear. You get the measurements and photos too.

Loft insulation in Plymouth: common questions
What are most homes in Plymouth?
Terraced houses (32% of households, Census 2021), then semi-detached houses (29%).
Can I have storage and full-depth insulation?
Yes: a raised floor on legs sits above the insulation so it isn’t squashed.
Do you list prices?
No, lofts vary too much. Your written quote prices each part separately.
Can you insulate above my top-floor flat?
Normally only with the freeholder’s or managing agent’s agreement. Check your lease first.
I’m a few miles from Plymouth. Can you come out?
Yes. Saltash, Ivybridge, Tavistock, Liskeard and Newton Abbot and the villages around are covered.
Do you fit loft ladders?
Yes, on their own or with insulation and boarding.
