The Insulation Company helps homeowners arrange loft-insulation assessments, quotations and installation services across the UK.
North Wales · Wales
Wrexham's housing is rooted in its coalfield and brewing past. Rows of sturdy mining-era terraces run through Rhosllanerchrugog, Cefn Mawr and the town's older core, built for colliery and works families; interwar and post-war semis fill Acton and Borras; and newer estates have spread toward the industrial park and Gwersyllt. Add the stone cottages of the outlying villages and you get a broad spread of ages, meaning a settled Victorian terrace roof and a 1990s estate house need quite different loft work.
We help homeowners across Wrexham and the surrounding North Wales 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 former colliery terraces around Rhos and Cefn Mawr tend to have compact lofts, thick solid walls and insulation laid many years ago that has compressed over time. Interwar and post-war semis across Acton, Borras and Gwersyllt commonly carry thin original wool that suits a top-up, and many already have boards laid flat on the joists for storage. The stone-built cottages of the surrounding villages can have irregular roof structures that reward a careful look. Modern estate homes on the town's edge usually have some insulation already, so the useful question becomes boarding, ventilation or whether more depth is worth adding.
Inland North Wales runs cold and wet, and Wrexham can be markedly colder in winter than the coast, so both heat loss and moisture matter. Blocking the eaves of an older terrace with insulation can cut off airflow and encourage condensation, so we keep the eaves clear and consider ventilation alongside insulation. In older stone cottages we take particular care that the roof can still breathe before recommending a build-up.
Cold, damp inland winters make condensation common in poorly ventilated Wrexham lofts, especially where warm air rises into an unventilated roof. Insulation alone will not resolve a moisture problem, so we identify the cause — airflow, a leak or an extractor venting into the loft — before recommending work.
In Wrexham, cost is driven mainly by loft access, whether old insulation needs removing, the roof structure in older cottages, and any boarding or ventilation work. Rural access to outlying village properties can also play a part.
Many Wrexham lofts already have some insulation. Where it is sound we can top it up to a suitable wool build-up; where it is damp, contaminated or compressed we remove and replace it. A short assessment tells you which applies.
These are examples of our work elsewhere, shown to illustrate what a project involves. They did not necessarily take place in Wrexham.
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.

Very often, yes. Older terraces lose a lot of heat through the roof, and a well-judged loft installation or top-up can make a real difference. We assess the loft, keep the eaves clear for airflow and recommend a suitable build-up.
It can. Cold, damp inland winters make both heat loss and condensation more of an issue, so we look at ventilation alongside insulation rather than simply adding depth. If there is any sign of damp, we find the cause first.
