Loft insulation in Abingdon-on-Thames: questions

How common are semi-detached houses in Abingdon-on-Thames?

Very: 28% of households lived in semi-detached houses at the 2021 Census, the largest group, ahead of detached houses at 24%.

How do I know if my loft needs more insulation?

If the insulation is level with or below the top of the joists, it’s likely well short of the 270mm commonly recommended for mineral wool. We will check when we look.

Can landlords in Abingdon-on-Thames get quotes?

Yes. 18% of households in Abingdon-on-Thames rent privately, and landlords can request a quote in the same way as owner-occupiers. Tenants should raise insulation with their landlord rather than arranging work themselves.

My loft is boarded. Can it still be insulated?

Often, yes. Boards screwed straight onto the joists usually squash the insulation below. A common fix is to lift them, bring the insulation up to depth and fit raised boarding so you keep the storage space.

I live just outside Abingdon-on-Thames. Can I still enquire?

Of course. Coverage isn’t limited to the town: enquiries come from right across England and Wales, including Didcot, Oxford, Wantage, Kidlington and Witney. See every town we list in Oxfordshire.

Who will carry out the work?

We will. We look at the loft, quote in writing and, if you go ahead, carry out the work on a date that suits you.
