What that means for your loft

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; 48% of homes in Kirkby-in-Ashfield are semi-detached.

With 16% of homes terraced, many lofts in Kirkby-in-Ashfield are long and narrow, bounded by party walls on both sides. Insulation should run right up to each party wall, and we check that the wall between lofts is complete, as in some older terraces it isn’t.

Loft insulation in Kirkby-in-Ashfield: questions

What kind of homes are there in Kirkby-in-Ashfield?

At the 2021 Census, 48% of households in Kirkby-in-Ashfield lived in semi-detached houses, 27% in detached houses, 16% in terraced houses and 9% in flats.

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.

Will I need to be at home?

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

Can landlords in Kirkby-in-Ashfield get quotes?

Yes. 18% of households in Kirkby-in-Ashfield rent privately, and landlords can request a quote in the same way as owner-occupiers. Tenants should raise insulation with their landlord rather than arranging work themselves.

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.

I live just outside Kirkby-in-Ashfield. Can I still enquire?

Of course. Coverage isn’t limited to the town: enquiries come from right across England and Wales, including Sutton in Ashfield, South Normanton and Pinxton, Mansfield, Hucknall and Mansfield Woodhouse. See every town we list in Nottinghamshire.
