Loft insulation in Southwater’s homes

40% of homes in Southwater are detached. With no party walls, insulation runs right to the eaves on every side, so keeping ventilation clear all the way round is part of a good job.

Semi-detached homes (26% here) share one party wall and often have a reasonable amount of loft space. That makes them good candidates for raised boarding over the insulation if you want to keep using the loft for storage.

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.

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.

Do I need to empty my loft first?

Usually the floor of the loft needs to be clear so the whole area can be insulated. We will tell you what we need when you book.
