Loft insulation in Southwick’s homes
Many semis have lofts that have been part-boarded over the years, often straight onto the joists. Where that has flattened the insulation underneath, raised boarding lets you keep the storage and restore the insulation; 41% of homes in Southwick are semi-detached.
18% of households in Southwick 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.

Loft insulation in Southwick: questions
What kind of homes are there in Southwick?
At the 2021 Census, 41% of households in Southwick lived in semi-detached houses, 24% in flats, 18% in terraced houses and 17% in detached houses.
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.
Can landlords in Southwick get quotes?
Yes. 14% of households in Southwick 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.
Which areas near Southwick do you cover?

What if there’s damp or mould in my loft?
Mention it when you enquire. Damp or mouldy insulation normally needs removing, and the cause (a leak or poor ventilation, for example) dealing with, before new insulation goes in.
Will I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the loft hatch. We agree the details with you when you book.
