What Risca lofts usually need
Around two in five of homes here are terraces (41%). Older ones may have roofs without felt, which makes airflow at the eaves important.
Semi-detached houses account for 37%. A typical job: top up the old layer to full depth, lay a raised deck and fit a ladder.
Before quoting, we measure the depth of the insulation in a few places, the size of the hatch and where a ladder would land and how the cables run. Then every part goes in the quote with its own price.
