New-town housing in Peterborough: what 1970s insulation looks like now
Bretton, Orton and Werrington are trussed-roof townships where the loft floor is the job; Millfield's terraces are where rafter-level questions arise.
Houses built in the town's expansion phases have trussed roofs, cavity walls and insulation that was installed to the standard of the time — often 50–100mm — and has settled since. The job is ceiling-level: mineral wool to depth, raised boarding where storage is wanted, a thin foil layer over the wool under boards where headroom for storage is tight. The older town's terraces are where rafter-level questions arise.
Coverage around Peterborough
Assessment and installation are allocated by postcode and project type across Peterborough and these surrounding areas:
We also cover Norwich, Ipswich, Cambridge and the rest of the East of England.
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 Peterborough quotes exist.
Local projects
Documented Peterborough 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.
