What homes in Chichester are like

Loft insulation in Chichester’s homes
25% of households in Chichester live in a semi-detached house. A typical semi has a loft big enough for storage, a hatch on the landing and one party wall to insulate up to; we check all three.
With 25% of homes terraced, many lofts in Chichester 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.
32% 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.
Private renting is common here (23% of households). Tenants should raise insulation with their landlord, who is responsible for the building; landlords can request a quote through us like any homeowner.
Getting a quote in Chichester
We take enquiries from across Chichester and the surrounding area, including Bognor Regis, Barnham, Emsworth, Selsey and South Hayling.
We will usually want to know the type of house, roughly when it was built, and whether there is any insulation in the loft already. Photos of the loft can help if it’s easy to take them.

Loft insulation in Chichester: questions
Are most homes in Chichester houses or flats?
Houses: 68% of households live in a detached, semi-detached or terraced house or bungalow, and 32% in a flat or maisonette (Census 2021). The most common single type is flats, at 32%.
Do you cover the villages around Chichester?
Yes. We take enquiries from anywhere in England and Wales, so villages and smaller places around Chichester are covered too, as are nearby towns such as Bognor Regis, Barnham, Emsworth, Selsey and South Hayling. See every town we list in West Sussex.
What if there’s damp or mould in my loft?
Mention it when you enquire. Damp or mouldy insulation normally needs removing, and the cause (a leak or poor ventilation, for example) dealing with, before new insulation goes in.
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.
Can landlords in Chichester get quotes?
Yes. 23% of households in Chichester 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.
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.
