Homes in Guisborough and their lofts
Guisborough’s history goes back a long way, and the ruins of Gisborough Priory and the cobbled Westgate still give the town centre its character. The older homes around the centre were built long before loft insulation was a consideration, and the roofs can be uneven, with awkward spaces that need careful work.
Most of the town’s housing is newer. Guisborough grew a lot in the 1960s and 1970s, when families came to work in the chemical industry at Wilton and the steelworks at Redcar, and new estates spread out from the centre. Homes of that era usually had some insulation when they were built, but much less than the 270mm of mineral wool recommended today, and over 50 years it tends to get flattened, moved around and covered with stored boxes.
Common loft problems we look for in Guisborough
- 1960s and 1970s insulation that is thin and compressed. A loft insulation top-up brings it up to today’s recommended depth.
- Storage boards on the joists squashing the insulation. Raised loft boarding keeps the storage and the warmth.
- Cold, exposed lofts on the edge of the hills, where good insulation and good airflow both matter.
- Older roofs in the town centre where the right material depends on the space. In some lofts, SuperFOIL multifoil can work where wool alone is awkward.
Our loft insulation page explains the materials we use and how a job runs.
How it works
We begin with a free assessment, looking at the depth and condition of your insulation, the airflow at the eaves, the roof timbers and the access. You then receive a written quotation with the scope, materials and price before anything is agreed. The Insulation Company or an approved installation partner does the work, followed by completion checks.

Loft insulation in Guisborough: FAQs
Do you cover Skelton and Brotton?
Yes. As well as Guisborough (TS14) we cover Skelton-in-Cleveland and Brotton (TS12).
My house was built in the 1970s. Is the loft insulation still good enough?
Probably not. Homes of that age were insulated to far lower standards than today’s recommended 270mm, and the material has often been flattened since. A free assessment shows what you have. See how thick loft insulation should be.
How much does loft insulation cost in Guisborough?
It depends on the size of your loft, what is already up there, how easy it is to get into and which material suits it. After a free assessment you get a written quotation setting out the scope, materials and price before anything is agreed. See what affects the cost.
How long does the work take?
It depends on the size of the loft and what is involved. Most straightforward installations and top-ups are short jobs; clearing old insulation, boarding or treating mould adds time. Your quotation says what is involved before you agree to anything. There is more in how long loft insulation takes.
Are there grants for loft insulation in Guisborough?
Some households can get help through government-backed schemes, but eligibility depends on the scheme, your home and your circumstances, and schemes change. We can’t promise funding. Our guide to loft insulation grants explains where to check.
