Insulation in Middlesbrough: common questions

Is loft insulation still free or subsidised in Middlesbrough?

Grant schemes come and go, but ECO4 and the Great British Insulation Scheme have both funded free or heavily subsidised loft and cavity insulation for eligible households, often based on benefits, income or council tax band. Ask installers which schemes they work with, and check your own eligibility on the government checker before agreeing to anything.

How much does loft insulation cost without a grant?

Topping up a standard loft to the recommended 270mm typically costs £400 to £800 for an average semi. Cavity wall insulation runs £800 to £1,500, and internal wall insulation is considerably more. Prices vary widely, so get two or three quotes.

Is spray foam insulation a good idea?

Be careful. Closed-cell spray foam applied to the underside of a roof can trap moisture and hide timber decay, and some mortgage lenders and surveyors now flag it when you come to sell or remortgage. If a firm pushes spray foam for your loft, get independent advice first.
