Loft insulation in Larkfield’s homes

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; 40% of homes in Larkfield are semi-detached.

25% of households in Larkfield 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.

How to get a quote

Coverage isn’t limited to Larkfield: we also take enquiries from Snodland, Maidstone, Chatham, Rochester and Gillingham and the villages in between.

We will usually want to know the type of house, roughly when it was built, and whether there is any insulation in the loft already. Photos of the loft can help if it’s easy to take them.

Loft insulation in Larkfield: questions

How common are semi-detached houses in Larkfield?

Very: 40% of households lived in semi-detached houses at the 2021 Census, the largest group, ahead of terraced houses at 25%.

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.

I rent my home in Larkfield. 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.
