Loft insulation in March’s homes
Detached houses (42% here) often have room for a full storage platform. If that’s what you want, raised boarding over properly deep insulation keeps the house warm and the space usable.
Semi-detached homes (28% 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.
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.

Loft insulation in March: questions

Yes. 21% of households in March 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.
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.
Do you cover the villages around March?

How much does loft insulation cost in March?
It depends on the size of the loft, how much insulation is there now, whether old material needs removing and how easy the loft is to work in. We give you a written quotation after finding out about your home.
Is a big loft a problem?
No, it just takes more material and a little longer. Larger lofts also leave more room for raised storage boarding above the insulation if you want it.
