Shirley sits 10 minutes from our Solihull base — we work here weekly. The B90 postcode is dominated by 1950s–70s estate housing with consistent loft layouts, plus newer developments around Dickens Heath and Monkspath that come pre-insulated but rarely with practical storage solutions. Both lend themselves to fast, fixed-price work with predictable outcomes.

Shirley B90 is dominated by 1950s–70s semi-detached and terraced housing — consistent build, deep ceiling joists, accessible loft hatches. The newer estates around Dickens Heath, Cheswick Green and Monkspath are pre-insulated to current regs but typically have no boarding or storage. Both property types deliver predictable, high-ROI loft transformations.

Common loft issues across Shirley B90
Shirley's housing mix produces a very predictable set of recurring loft issues — most of which we resolve in a single day.
Crushed insulation in newer estates
Dickens Heath and Monkspath homes were built with 270mm insulation, but homeowners often boarded directly on top — losing 60% of thermal performance.
Wobbly original 70s ladders
1970s estate housing typically still has the original timber loft ladder — wobbly, unsafe, missing modern locks. Most replaced in 2 hours.
Compressed mineral wool in pre-1985 housing
Older Shirley terraces typically have insulation that has settled to 60% of installed depth — quick top-up, immediate EPC and bills win.
Dark, hard-to-use lofts
Most Shirley lofts have no fixed lighting — adding switched LEDs is the cheapest comfort upgrade and we bundle it into most boarding jobs.
