Loft services in Broadstairs
Common loft jobs in Broadstairs
Semis make up 33% 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.
With 13% of homes terraced, many lofts in Broadstairs are long and narrow, bounded by party walls on both sides. Insulation should run right up to each party wall, and we check that the wall between lofts is complete, as in some older terraces it isn’t.
47% 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 Broadstairs: questions
What kind of homes are there in Broadstairs?
At the 2021 Census, 33% of households in Broadstairs lived in detached houses, 33% in semi-detached houses, 22% in flats and 13% in terraced houses.
Which areas near Broadstairs do you cover?
I rent my home in Broadstairs. Can I get loft insulation?
Talk to your landlord first, as changes to the building are their decision and normally their cost. Landlords can ask us for a quote just as homeowners do.
Do I need to empty my loft first?
Usually the floor of the loft needs to be clear so the whole area can be insulated. We will tell you what we need when you book.
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.
How much does loft insulation cost in Broadstairs?
It depends on the size of the loft, how much insulation is there now, whether old material needs removing and how easy the loft is to work in. We give you a written quotation after finding out about your home.
