Loft insulation in Kempston’s homes
42% of households in Kempston live in a semi-detached house. A typical semi has a loft big enough for storage, a hatch on the landing and one party wall to insulate up to; we check all three.
22% of households in Kempston 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.

Loft insulation in Kempston: questions
How common are semi-detached houses in Kempston?
Very: 42% of households lived in semi-detached houses at the 2021 Census, the largest group, ahead of terraced houses at 22%.
I rent my home in Kempston. Can I get loft insulation?
Talk to your landlord first, as changes to the building are their decision and normally their cost. Council and housing association tenants should contact their landlord’s repairs or maintenance team. Landlords can ask us for a quote just as homeowners do.
Do you cover the villages around Kempston?
Yes. We take enquiries from anywhere in England and Wales, so villages and smaller places around Kempston are covered too, as are nearby towns such as Bedford, Flitwick, Sandy, Newport Pagnell and Biggleswade. See every town we list in Bedford.
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.
Do you work in Kempston?
Yes. We work across England and Wales, including Kempston and the area around it. Send your postcode and we’ll be in touch.
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.
