What that means for your loft
With 36% of homes semi-detached, a common job in Sittingbourne is bringing an existing layer up to depth and adding raised storage boards so the insulation isn’t squashed.
Rows of terraced homes account for 31% of the housing in Sittingbourne. 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.

Loft insulation in Sittingbourne: questions
How common are semi-detached houses in Sittingbourne?
Very: 36% of households lived in semi-detached houses at the 2021 Census, the largest group, ahead of terraced houses at 31%.
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.
I live just outside Sittingbourne. Can I still enquire?
Can landlords in Sittingbourne get quotes?
Yes. 18% of households in Sittingbourne 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.
Who will carry out the work?
We will. We look at the loft, quote in writing and, if you go ahead, carry out the work on a date that suits you.
Can you give me a price for Sittingbourne?
Yes, once we know about your loft. Size, existing insulation, access and any boarding or removal all affect it, and it’s confirmed in writing before you agree to anything.
