Loft insulation in Gosport’s homes
Many semis have lofts that have been part-boarded over the years, often straight onto the joists. Where that has flattened the insulation underneath, raised boarding lets you keep the storage and restore the insulation; 28% of homes in Gosport are semi-detached.
37% of households in Gosport live in a terraced house. Terrace lofts are usually compact, which keeps the amount of material down, but the work is in getting good coverage up to the party walls and into the eaves without blocking ventilation.
Only top-floor flats sit under a loft, and in most blocks the roof space belongs to the freeholder or is managed by a management company or housing association. If you live in one of the 25% of Gosport homes that are flats, check who is responsible for the roof space before arranging work.
20% of households in Gosport 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.

Loft insulation in Gosport: questions

Why can’t I see prices on the website?
Because every loft is different. The area, what’s up there already, access and any extra work change the price, so we quote once we know about your home.
I live in a top-floor flat. Can I insulate the loft above me?
Usually only with the agreement of whoever owns or manages the roof space, often the freeholder or a management company. Check that first, then mention it when you enquire.
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.
