Newport's housing and what it means for insulation
Victorian terraces in Maindee, Pillgwenlly and Baneswell, inter-war semis in Allt-yr-yn and Malpas, post-war estates at Bettws and Ringland, and newer housing at Rogerstone and Caerleon.
Typical Newport enquiries
- Terrace loft conversions in Maindee
- Inter-war semi loft rooms in Allt-yr-yn
- Loft floor upgrades at Bettws and Ringland
- Spray foam assessments across Gwent

Older Newport terraces: shallow rafters and back additions
Maindee and Pillgwenlly terraces carry the conversions; Gwent's spray foam history means foam is checked for first across Bettws and Ringland.
Older roofs can have significantly less usable insulation depth than modern constructions. Rafter dimensions, underlay type, ventilation and any rear or addition roof must therefore be checked at the property before a multifoil or hybrid build-up is specified. Where depth is limited, the usual investigation is multifoil under the rafters with battens forming the room-side air space; where a target U-value applies, PIR between the rafters is added. The party-wall junction and any existing damp staining decide whether the job is straightforward.
Coverage around Newport
Assessment and installation are allocated by postcode and project type across Newport and these surrounding areas:
We also cover Swansea, Wrexham, Cardiff and the rest of Wales.
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 Newport quotes exist.
Local projects
Documented Newport 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.
