Loft insulation in Great Bookham and Fetcham’s homes

Detached houses (54% here) often have room for a full storage platform. If that’s what you want, raised boarding over properly deep insulation keeps the house warm and the space usable.

Semi-detached homes (26% here) share one party wall and often have a reasonable amount of loft space. That makes them good candidates for raised boarding over the insulation if you want to keep using the loft for storage.

48% of households own their home outright. If your loft was last insulated many years ago, it may well be below the depth recommended today, as older layers were thinner and settle over time.
