Loft services in Caversham
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 21% of homes terraced, many lofts in Caversham 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 Caversham: questions
What kind of homes are there in Caversham?
At the 2021 Census, 31% of households in Caversham lived in semi-detached houses, 30% in detached houses, 21% in terraced houses and 18% in flats.
Do I need to empty my loft first?

I rent my home in Caversham. 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.
I live just outside Caversham. Can I still enquire?
How much does loft insulation cost in Caversham?
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.
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.
