Common loft jobs in Stotfold
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; 36% of homes in Stotfold are semi-detached.
About one in five of homes in Stotfold are terraced (19%). Small lofts mean smaller jobs, but storage often ends up on the insulation in a tight space, so many terrace jobs combine a top-up with a small area of raised boarding.

Loft insulation in Stotfold: questions
How common are semi-detached houses in Stotfold?
Very: 36% of households lived in semi-detached houses at the 2021 Census, the largest group, ahead of detached houses at 32%.
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.
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.
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.
How do I know if my loft needs more insulation?
If the insulation is level with or below the top of the joists, it’s likely well short of the 270mm commonly recommended for mineral wool. We will check when we look.
