Loft insulation in Kettering: questions

Very: 35% of households lived in semi-detached houses at the 2021 Census, the largest group, ahead of detached houses at 24%.
What if there’s damp or mould in my loft?
Mention it when you enquire. Damp or mouldy insulation normally needs removing, and the cause (a leak or poor ventilation, for example) dealing with, before new insulation goes in.
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.

Someone needs to let us in and show us the loft hatch. We agree the details with you when you book.
