What that means for your loft

Semi-detached homes (31% here) share one party wall and often have a reasonable amount of loft space. That makes them good candidates for raised boarding over the insulation if you want to keep using the loft for storage.

With 29% of homes terraced, many lofts in Calne 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.

Loft insulation in Calne: questions

Are most homes in Calne houses or flats?

Houses: 88% of households live in a detached, semi-detached or terraced house or bungalow, and 12% in a flat or maisonette (Census 2021). The most common single type is semi-detached houses, at 31%.

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.

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.

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.

I live just outside Calne. Can I still enquire?

Of course. Coverage isn’t limited to the town: enquiries come from right across England and Wales, including Chippenham, Devizes, Melksham, Royal Wootton Bassett and Corsham. See every town we list in Wiltshire.

Can landlords in Calne get quotes?

Yes. 14% of households in Calne 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.
