Common loft jobs in Haverhill

Terraced houses make up 37% of homes here. Their lofts tend to be smaller and are often reached through a narrow hatch on the landing, so access is one of the first things we look at. The insulation needs to meet the party walls on each side with no gaps.

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; 27% of homes in Haverhill are semi-detached.

Loft insulation in Haverhill: questions

How common are terraced houses in Haverhill?

Very: 37% of households lived in terraced houses at the 2021 Census, the largest group, ahead of semi-detached houses at 27%.

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.

Do you cover the villages around Haverhill?

Yes. We take enquiries from anywhere in England and Wales, so villages and smaller places around Haverhill are covered too, as are nearby towns such as Saffron Walden, Newmarket, Halstead, Sudbury and Braintree. See every town we list in Suffolk.

How do I know if my loft needs more insulation?

If the insulation is level with or below the top of the joists, it’s likely well short of the 270mm commonly recommended for mineral wool. We will check when we look.

Who will carry out the work?

We will. We look at the loft, quote in writing and, if you go ahead, carry out the work on a date that suits you.

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.
