Common loft jobs in Chatham
Around two in five of homes in Chatham are terraced (41%). 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.
With 28% of homes semi-detached, a common job in Chatham is bringing an existing layer up to depth and adding raised storage boards so the insulation isn’t squashed.
21% of households in Chatham rent privately. If you’re a tenant, speak to your landlord: they arrange and pay for improvements to the building. Privately rented homes in England and Wales generally need an energy performance rating of at least E to be let.

I rent my home in Chatham. 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.
Does a terraced house need anything different?
The main things are getting insulation right up to the party walls, checking those walls are complete between lofts, and working through what is often a small hatch. Lofts are usually compact, so less material is needed.
