Nottingham is one of the Midlands cities we cover for loft insulation, spray foam removal, new roofs and roof repairs. It's also where we insulated a household's loft free of charge, as part of our community work.
Free loft insulation for a Nottingham household, given as part of our community work.
The household needed better insulation to cut the heat escaping through the loft, so we fitted it at no cost to them. More on loft insulation.
We usually lay 100mm of Knauf or Rockwool between the joists and another 200mm across them, which builds up to 300mm.
Before any of that goes down we check the loft over, take out old insulation where it needs to come out, and vacuum the floor clean. Ventilation, damp, downlights and the loft hatch get looked at too.
The city council counts 33 conservation areas in Nottingham, among them Mapperley Park and Alexandra Park, The Park, Sherwood Rise, the Arboretum and Forest Grove.
Its appraisal of The Park says the roofs there are almost all slate, with many tall chimneys. Sherwood Rise, a late Victorian and Edwardian suburb, lists slate roofs among its features too.
Six places have Article 4 Directions, which take away some permitted development rights so the work they cover needs planning permission first: Devonshire Promenade, Foxhall Road, Sneinton, Strelley Village, Waterloo Promenade and Wellington Terrace.
