Around that sit Black Country terraces and the large inter-war estates of Kingswinford and Wordsley with their shallow hipped roofs.
Dudley's housing and what it means for insulation
Dudley borough — Dudley, Stourbridge, Halesowen, Brierley Hill — is classic Black Country stock: Victorian terraces, very large inter-war semi estates in Kingswinford and Wordsley, and post-war council estates. Spray foam was sold aggressively here and removal-and-replace enquiries are common.
Typical Dudley enquiries
- Spray foam removal and replacement insulation
- Inter-war semi loft rooms in Kingswinford and Wordsley
- Terrace roof insulation in Netherton and Cradley Heath
- Loft floor upgrades in post-war estates

1930s Dudley semis: the headroom problem
Because spray foam was sold so heavily across the Dudley borough, the first check in many Kingswinford and Wordsley lofts is whether foam is present before any rafter work is considered.
Inter-war semi-detached houses here have hipped roofs on purlins whose rafter depth must be measured rather than assumed, and a loft conversion loses headroom quickly if deep board is used. The usual investigation is multifoil under the rafters, with 50mm PIR between them where a target U-value must be met, keeping the finished ceiling as high as possible. The hips, the purlins and the position of the water tank are what the survey measures first.
Coverage around Dudley
Assessment and installation are allocated by postcode and project type across Dudley and these surrounding areas:
We also cover Walsall, Solihull, Coventry and the rest of the West Midlands.
How it works, briefly
Postcode → property questions → assessment where a physical inspection is needed → recommendation → fixed quote → installation. Every step runs to the InsulationMatch installation standard; the installing company is named on the quote. Multifoil itself is explained in the multifoil guide, and what moves a price in the cost guide. Local ranges are published here only once genuine Dudley quotes exist.
Local projects
Documented Dudley projects are added to the project library as they complete. Until then the library's typical project scenarios show how the housing above is assessed.
