Loft insulation in Caterham’s homes

Many semis have lofts that have been part-boarded over the years, often straight onto the joists. Where that has flattened the insulation underneath, raised boarding lets you keep the storage and restore the insulation; 28% of homes in Caterham are semi-detached.

About one in eight of homes in Caterham are terraced (13%). Small lofts mean smaller jobs, but storage often ends up on the insulation in a tight space, so many terrace jobs combine a top-up with a small area of raised boarding.

33% of households here live in flats. A flat usually only has a loft above it on the top floor, and work in a shared roof space needs the agreement of whoever manages the building, so mention this when you enquire.

Loft insulation in Caterham: questions

How common are flats in Caterham?

Very: 33% of households lived in flats at the 2021 Census, the largest group, ahead of semi-detached houses at 28%.

I live in a top-floor flat. Can I insulate the loft above me?

Usually only with the agreement of whoever owns or manages the roof space, often the freeholder or a management company. Check that first, then mention it when you enquire.

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.

Do you cover the villages around Caterham?

Yes. We take enquiries from anywhere in England and Wales, so villages and smaller places around Caterham are covered too, as are nearby towns such as Croydon, Oxted, Redhill, Reigate and Tadworth and Epsom Downs. See every town we list in Surrey.

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.
