Loft-floor upgrades and boarding are the bulk of the work; the terraces bring the loft conversions.
Swindon's housing and what it means for insulation
Railway-era Victorian terraces in Old Town, Gorse Hill and Rodbourne, inter-war housing in Pinehurst, and very large post-war and 1970s–2000s estates — Toothill, Freshbrook, Abbey Meads — with trussed roofs and often thin original insulation.

Trussed roofs on Swindon estates: the loft floor is the job
Swindon's estates from Toothill to Abbey Meads are trussed and thinly insulated; Old Town and Rodbourne terraces are where loft conversions and rafter-level foil come in.
Most post-1965 housing here has fink-truss roofs: a web of thin timbers that cannot be cut, cannot form a room and often carry thin, settled original insulation. The right work is almost always at ceiling level — mineral wool to depth, raised boarding where storage is wanted — and a foil layer only enters as a thin addition over the wool under the boards. Rafter-level foil is rarely the answer in this stock, and we say so.
Coverage around Swindon
Assessment and installation are allocated by postcode and project type across Swindon and these surrounding areas:
We also cover Plymouth, Exeter, Cheltenham and the rest of the South West.
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 Swindon quotes exist.
Local projects
Documented Swindon 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.
