Loft services in Hersham
What that means for your loft
Semis make up 38% 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.
Terraced houses make up 17% 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.

Loft insulation in Hersham: questions
What kind of homes are there in Hersham?
At the 2021 Census, 38% of households in Hersham lived in semi-detached houses, 27% in detached houses, 18% in flats and 17% in terraced houses.
Do you cover the villages around Hersham?
Yes. We take enquiries from anywhere in England and Wales, so villages and smaller places around Hersham are covered too, as are nearby towns such as Walton-on-Thames, Weybridge, Cobham, Byfleet and West Molesey. See every town we list in Surrey.
How deep should loft insulation be?
For mineral wool, 270mm is the depth commonly recommended in UK lofts. Other materials reach a similar level at different thicknesses.
Do I need to empty my loft first?
Usually the floor of the loft needs to be clear so the whole area can be insulated. We will tell you what we need when you book.
How long does the work take?
A typical loft is usually done within a day once booked. Removing old insulation first, fitting boarding or awkward access can add time; we will tell you when we quote.
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.
