Common loft jobs in Sandown
Semis make up 27% of homes here. In many, the loft is used for storage and the insulation has been pushed aside or flattened over the years, so even an insulated loft can be worth a second look.
Rows of terraced homes account for 13% of the housing in Sandown. 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.
Only top-floor flats sit under a loft, and in most blocks the roof space belongs to the freeholder or is managed by a management company or housing association. If you live in one of the 29% of Sandown homes that are flats, check who is responsible for the roof space before arranging work.
23% of homes here are let privately. Landlords are responsible for the building, and a well-insulated loft is one of the more straightforward improvements to a rented home’s energy rating.
43% of households own their home outright. If your loft was last insulated many years ago, it may well be below the depth recommended today, as older layers were thinner and settle over time.

Loft insulation in Sandown: questions
What kind of homes are there in Sandown?
At the 2021 Census, 30% of households in Sandown lived in detached houses, 29% in flats, 27% in semi-detached houses and 13% in terraced houses.
How much does loft insulation cost in Sandown?
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.
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.
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.
