What Rhondda lofts usually need

Terraces are 72% of the housing here. Many have narrow landing hatches, so a slim folding ladder makes a big difference.

11% of homes in Rhondda are semis. Many have tall lofts with good headroom, just right for a raised storage floor over full-depth insulation.

21% of households rent privately. Landlords can book us; most rental lofts are done in a day with the tenants at home.

40% of homes are owned outright. Long-settled insulation, often under years of storage, is common.

Measuring up means looking at whether the eaves are clear, where the tank and pipes sit and how deep and how far apart the joists are. Then every part goes in the quote with its own price.
