Loft insulation in Aldridge’s homes
With 45% of homes semi-detached, a common job in Aldridge is bringing an existing layer up to depth and adding raised storage boards so the insulation isn’t squashed.
Terraced houses make up 11% of homes here. Their lofts tend to be smaller and are often reached through a narrow hatch on the landing, so access is one of the first things we look at. The insulation needs to meet the party walls on each side with no gaps.
46% of homes are owned outright, so many households have been in place for a long time. Insulation fitted when they moved in may be well short of today’s recommended depth, especially if the loft has been used for storage.

Loft insulation in Aldridge: questions
Are most homes in Aldridge houses or flats?
Houses: 81% of households live in a detached, semi-detached or terraced house or bungalow, and 19% in a flat or maisonette (Census 2021). The most common single type is semi-detached houses, at 45%.
Will I lose my loft storage?
Not necessarily. Raised boarding sits on supports above the insulation, so the insulation keeps its full depth and you keep somewhere to store things.
My loft was insulated years ago. Is that enough?
Possibly not. Older insulation was often laid thinner than the depth recommended today, and mineral wool settles over time. If it sits level with the top of the joists or below, a top-up is worth considering.
How long does the work take?
A typical loft is usually done within a day once booked. Removing old insulation first, fitting boarding or awkward access can add time; we will tell you when we quote.
How deep should loft insulation be?
For mineral wool, 270mm is the depth commonly recommended in UK lofts. Other materials reach a similar level at different thicknesses.
