What that means for your loft

With 30% of homes semi-detached, a common job in Chard is bringing an existing layer up to depth and adding raised storage boards so the insulation isn’t squashed.

Terraced houses make up 25% 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.

I rent my home in Chard. Can I get loft insulation?

Talk to your landlord first, as changes to the building are their decision and normally their cost. Council and housing association tenants should contact their landlord’s repairs or maintenance team. Landlords can ask us for a quote just as homeowners do.

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.

Do you work in Chard?

Yes. We work across England and Wales, including Chard and the area around it. Send your postcode and we’ll be in touch.

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.
