Loft insulation in Bishop's Cleeve: questions

What kind of homes are there in Bishop's Cleeve?

At the 2021 Census, 37% of households in Bishop's Cleeve lived in semi-detached houses, 35% in detached houses, 18% in terraced houses and 8% in flats.

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.

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.

Will I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the loft hatch. We agree the details with you when you book.

What if there’s damp or mould in my loft?

Mention it when you enquire. Damp or mouldy insulation normally needs removing, and the cause (a leak or poor ventilation, for example) dealing with, before new insulation goes in.
