Loft insulation in Romsey’s homes
24% of households in Romsey live in a semi-detached house. A typical semi has a loft big enough for storage, a hatch on the landing and one party wall to insulate up to; we check all three.
Terraced houses make up 29% of homes here. Their lofts tend to be smaller and are often reached through a narrow hatch on the landing, so access is one of the first things we look at. The insulation needs to meet the party walls on each side with no gaps.
42% 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.

Loft insulation in Romsey: questions
What kind of homes are there in Romsey?
At the 2021 Census, 29% of households in Romsey lived in terraced houses, 27% in detached houses, 24% in semi-detached houses and 19% in flats.
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.
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.
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.
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.
