Common loft jobs in Sheerness
47% of households in Sheerness 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.
Semis make up 23% 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.
36% 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.

I rent my home in Sheerness. 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.
Does a terraced house need anything different?
The main things are getting insulation right up to the party walls, checking those walls are complete between lofts, and working through what is often a small hatch. Lofts are usually compact, so less material is needed.
