Homes in Thornaby and their lofts
Thornaby has an old village core around St Peter’s Church and the green, and the area towards the river grew with industry from the 1820s. Much of the modern town is newer. The RAF airfield that opened in 1929 closed in the late 1950s, and from the 1960s new housing, a new town centre and offices were built on the land. Thornaby has kept growing since, with more recent estates on its edges.
That gives a real mix of lofts. Older homes around Old Thornaby and Mandale usually had insulation added long after they were built, often thin and compressed. Homes from the 1960s and 1970s may have a layer laid when they were new that has never been topped up. Even newer houses often fall short of the 270mm of mineral wool recommended today. Our loft insulation page explains the options.
Common loft problems we look for in Thornaby
- Insulation well below 270mm, which a top-up fixes.
- Flattened insulation under storage, solved with raised loft boarding so you keep the storage and the depth.
- Old insulation that has gone dirty or damp, which may need removing before new goes in.
- Poor airflow at the eaves, leading to condensation in winter. See our guide to loft condensation and ventilation.

Loft insulation in Thornaby-on-Tees: FAQs
Do you cover all of Thornaby?
Yes. We cover the whole of Thornaby-on-Tees in TS17, from Old Thornaby and Mandale to Village Park and the newer estates, plus neighbouring Ingleby Barwick.
How do I know if my loft needs a top-up?
If you can see the tops of the ceiling joists, the insulation is almost certainly too thin. Other signs are cold upstairs rooms and insulation that looks flattened or patchy. Our guide to signs your loft needs a top-up goes through them.
How much does loft insulation cost in Thornaby?
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 Thornaby?
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.

Feedback from customers who have used our insulation services.
I was looking at getting my roof insulated but was shocked by the price of some of the quotes I received. I stumbled across these guys and could not be more pleased. Great quality work for a fantastic price.
Lovely crew. They arrived on time and gave me an excellent quote. A friendly group of workers who kept me updated throughout the process.
Great service with great prices. I felt very comfortable letting them get on with the insulation. No mess was left behind, and it was definitely needed with the horrible weather.
