Loft Insulation Top-Up — Sunderland & SR1 – SR6
Modern Building Regs specify 270mm loft insulation. Most homes we visit have 100–150mm — half what they should. A top-up during any roof works is trivially cheap and pays back in 2–3 winters of heating. We're regularly on roofs close to the A19, out around Sunderland Enterprise Park, through Roker and Fulwell.
- Top-up to current 270mm standard
- Cross-laid over existing insulation
- Loft hatch and eaves detail respected
- Ventilation preserved — no condensation risk
- Ideal add-on during any pitched-roof works
Sunderland context
Sunderland is our home city. We know which streets in Hendon still have 1900s rafters, which Roker terraces have been re-felted in the last decade, and where chimneys haven't been touched since the pits closed. Regular access via A19 and A1231. We're often out around Sunderland Enterprise Park.
Housing stock we usually work on here
Coastal terraces in Roker and Fulwell, ex-colliery rows in Hendon and Pennywell, and 1960s semis through Castletown — many with original Welsh slate still in service.
Weather considerations
Salt-laden coastal air corrodes ferrous fixings and degrades old underlays quickly, so we always specify stainless or galvanised replacements close to the seafront.
