My house is detached with a large loft. What should I expect?

More area to cover, so more insulation and a longer job, and plenty of room for boarded storage if you want it. Keeping the eaves clear for ventilation across the whole loft matters more in a big roof space.

I rent my home in South Woodham Ferrers. Can I get loft insulation?

Talk to your landlord first, as changes to the building are their decision and normally their cost. Landlords can ask us for a quote just as homeowners do.

How deep should loft insulation be?

For mineral wool, 270mm is the depth commonly recommended in UK lofts. Other materials reach a similar level at different thicknesses.
