Loft insulation in Bridgnorth’s homes

Semis make up 34% of homes here. In many, the loft is used for storage and the insulation has been pushed aside or flattened over the years, so even an insulated loft can be worth a second look.

Terraced houses make up 22% 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.

42% 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 Bridgnorth: questions

Are most homes in Bridgnorth houses or flats?

Houses: 84% of households live in a detached, semi-detached or terraced house or bungalow, and 16% in a flat or maisonette (Census 2021). The most common single type is semi-detached houses, at 34%.

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.

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.

For mineral wool, 270mm is the depth commonly recommended in UK lofts. Other materials reach a similar level at different thicknesses.
