Kidlington’s housing at a glance
Some 14,600 people call Kidlington home, making up about 6,540 households (Census 2021). The biggest share of homes are semi-detached (43%), followed by detached houses or bungalows (23%), terraced (19%) and flats or maisonettes (15%). 70% of households own their home (43% outright, 27% with a mortgage or shared ownership), 21% rent privately and 10% rent from a council or housing association. The median age of residents is 44.
What that means for your loft
Semi-detached homes (43% 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.
Rows of terraced homes account for 19% of the housing in Kidlington. In a terrace, heat can be lost through a thin or patchy layer just as easily as through an empty loft, so we look at how even the existing insulation is as well as how deep.
Private renting is common here (21% of households). Tenants should raise insulation with their landlord, who is responsible for the building; landlords can request a quote through us like any homeowner.
43% of homes are owned outright, so many households have been in place for a long time. Insulation fitted when they moved in may be well short of today’s recommended depth, especially if the loft has been used for storage.

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 was insulated years ago. Is that enough?
Possibly not. Older insulation was often laid thinner than the depth recommended today, and mineral wool settles over time. If it sits level with the top of the joists or below, a top-up is worth considering.
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.
