The Insulation Company helps homeowners arrange loft-insulation assessments, quotations and installation services across the UK.
South West · England
Gloucester pairs a long cathedral-city history with plenty of twentieth-century growth. Victorian and Edwardian terraces fill Tredworth, Barton and Kingsholm; interwar and post-war semis spread across Longlevens, Hucclecote and Tuffley; and the regenerated Docks and city centre now carry newer flats. Modern estates ring the edges toward Quedgeley and Churchdown. That mix means loft work is rarely one standard job — a tightly packed terrace loft with awkward access asks for a different approach from a 1950s semi or a recent estate house.
We help homeowners across Gloucester and the surrounding South West area arrange loft assessments, quotations and installation. Depending on the service, work may be completed by The Insulation Company or an approved installation partner.
The terraced streets of Tredworth, Barton and Kingsholm often have compact lofts with limited headroom, tricky access over the stairs and insulation that has settled over the years. Gloucester has a large stock of interwar and post-war semis across Longlevens, Hucclecote and Tuffley, typically carrying thin original wool that suits a top-up, often with boards laid straight onto the joists for storage. Newer homes toward Quedgeley usually have some insulation already, so the question becomes whether adding more, boarding, or improving ventilation is worthwhile. Docks flats raise their own questions about roof responsibility.
Gloucester sits low on the Severn plain, where damp air and a wet climate make ventilation worth close attention. Packing insulation hard into the eaves of an older terrace can block airflow and encourage condensation, so we keep the eaves clear and treat ventilation and insulation together. Where older roofing felt is present beneath the tiles, we assess how the roof breathes before recommending a build-up.
The Severn valley's damp, higher-rainfall conditions mean condensation and damp complaints are common in poorly ventilated Gloucester lofts. Insulation alone will not cure a moisture problem, so we check the real cause — airflow, a leak or an extractor venting into the loft — before recommending work.
In Gloucester, cost is driven mainly by loft access on terraced streets, whether old insulation needs removing, and any boarding or ventilation work. Parking and access on narrow inner-city roads can also be a factor.
You tell us about your property and what you have noticed in the loft. Nothing is committed at this stage.
We review the property age, roof type, loft access and any existing insulation, moisture or ventilation concerns.
Where required, a survey or assessment is arranged so measurements and conditions can be checked in person.
You receive a clear written recommendation and quotation setting out the scope, materials, price and any guarantee.
Work is completed by The Insulation Company or an approved installation partner, with access protected throughout.
Final checks are carried out, the loft is left clean, and relevant documentation and any guarantee are supplied.
These are examples of our work elsewhere, shown to illustrate what a project involves. They did not necessarily take place in Gloucester.
Emma's front and rear bedrooms, split by a central chimney breast, both cooled quickly. We insulated the 40m² floor on both sides of the chimney to a full 300mm depth.
Example from our project library
Tom noticed condensation on the bedroom windows and rapid overnight heat loss. We gave his compact 31m² loft a full 300mm Knauf glass mineral wool layer, fitted carefully around the hatch and low edge bays.
Example from our project library
Peter's upstairs ran consistently colder than the ground floor even after a heating service. The 46m² loft was almost completely uninsulated, so we installed a full 300mm Knauf glass mineral wool layer from hatch to gable.

We help homeowners across Gloucester and the surrounding area, from Tredworth, Barton and Kingsholm to Longlevens, Hucclecote and Tuffley, as well as Quedgeley, Churchdown and Tewkesbury. Request an assessment and we'll confirm coverage for your postcode.
Usually, yes, though a compact loft with tricky access changes the method and material choice. We assess the space, keep the eaves clear for airflow and recommend a suitable build-up rather than forcing a standard approach.
Sitting low on the Severn plain, Gloucester's damp climate makes ventilation important. If you have noticed condensation or staining, we look at the cause — airflow, a leak or an extractor venting into the loft — because insulation alone will not fix a moisture problem.
