Loft services in Filton
From interwar semis to Brabazon new builds
Much of Filton's older housing went up between the wars and in the years after 1945, as the aircraft industry grew and needed workers living nearby. That means plenty of brick semis and short terraces with hipped or gabled tiled roofs, alongside post-war housing built in the same spirit.
Those older lofts tend to be roomy, with traditional cut-timber roofs rather than trusses.
The new homes on the airfield are a different case. They're built to current standards with deep insulation from day one, so the question there is usually how to use the loft for storage without spoiling what's already in it.
Working in Filton and north Bristol
Most of the older houses have driveways or reasonably wide roads, while parking on the newer streets can be tighter, and we'll agree where to stop when we book. Interwar semis usually have a decent-sized hatch in the landing ceiling, which makes getting materials up into the loft simple and often leaves room for a ladder later.
If a survey has picked up spray foam in your loft, our spray foam removal guide covers what the job involves. For storage in a newer home, see how we fit raised loft boarding.

Loft insulation in Filton: FAQs
Can I board my new-build loft at Brabazon?
In most cases, yes, but it needs doing properly. New homes have deep insulation laid between and over the joists, and boards laid straight on top would crush it. We fit loft legs to lift the boards clear so the insulation keeps its full depth. We check the truss layout first too, because trussed roofs must never be cut or altered.
We're selling our Filton house and the survey mentioned spray foam. What now?
It's common for surveyors to flag spray foam, because it can hide the condition of the roof timbers. We can inspect the loft and quote for removing the foam, cleaning the rafters and battens, and fitting suitable insulation instead. Once that's done, the roof can be inspected properly, which is usually what a buyer's lender wants.
Our 1930s semi has a water tank in the loft. Does that matter?
It just needs handling properly. Once the loft floor is insulated, the roof space gets colder, so we lag the pipes and insulate around and over the tank. We leave the patch directly underneath it uninsulated so a little warmth from the house helps stop it freezing.
