The Insulation Company helps homeowners arrange loft-insulation assessments, quotations and installation services across the UK.

Redditch was designated a new town in 1964 to take Birmingham overspill, and most of its housing dates from the estate-building decades that followed. Neat 1970s and 80s developments ring the centre, with later modern housing beyond and pockets of older Victorian terraces surviving from the town's needle-making days. That youthful stock shapes loft work here: many roofs already carry insulation, so the real questions are usually about depth, boarding for storage and keeping ventilation right rather than a first-time install.
We help homeowners across Redditch and the surrounding Worcestershire 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 bulk of Redditch's housing is new-town estate development with modern trussed roofs that already hold some insulation, often thinned with age or squashed by storage boards laid straight onto the joists. A top-up with raised boarding is frequently the sensible route. The older terraces from the needle district have more traditional, sometimes shallow lofts with awkward access, while village cottages on the fringes can have irregular period roofs that need a careful, breathable approach.
As a largely modern town, Redditch has many trussed roofs where movement is tight and insulation has simply been compressed by storage. A top-up plus raised boarding restores the depth while keeping a usable floor. We keep the eaves clear for airflow, check that extractors vent outside rather than into the loft, and on the older needle-district terraces assess how the roof breathes before adding depth.
Condensation is common in poorly ventilated modern lofts, especially where a bathroom fan discharges into a trussed roof void. Insulation alone will not cure a moisture problem, so we identify the real cause — airflow, a leak or a misrouted extractor — before recommending work.
In Redditch, cost depends mainly on loft access, whether existing insulation needs topping up or removing, and any boarding or ventilation work. The tight voids of modern trussed roofs can also affect how straightforward a job is.
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 Redditch.
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 Redditch and nearby Worcestershire, from the town centre and Church Hill to Winyates, Woodrow and Matchborough, as well as Studley and towards Bromsgrove. Request an assessment and we'll confirm coverage for your postcode.
Often, yes. New-town roofs were typically insulated to older, shallower depths that storage has since compressed. Topping up to current levels and adding raised boarding usually makes a worthwhile difference, and we'll advise honestly if it does not.
Trussed modern roofs can suffer condensation if poorly ventilated, especially where a fan vents into the void. We look at the cause — airflow, a leak or a misrouted extractor — because insulation alone will not fix a moisture problem.
