Loft insulation in Exmouth

Common loft jobs in Exmouth

Semis make up 26% of homes here. In many, the loft is used for storage and the insulation has been pushed aside or flattened over the years, so even an insulated loft can be worth a second look.

With 22% of homes terraced, many lofts in Exmouth 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.

Around 27% of Exmouth homes are flats or maisonettes. If your flat is on the top floor, the loft above is often shared with neighbours or belongs to the freeholder, so permission comes first.

44% of homes are owned outright, so many households have been in place for a long time. Insulation fitted when they moved in may be well short of today’s recommended depth, especially if the loft has been used for storage.
