Loft insulation in Stratton St Margaret’s homes

50% of households in Stratton St Margaret live in a semi-detached house. A typical semi has a loft big enough for storage, a hatch on the landing and one party wall to insulate up to; we check all three.

Terraced houses make up 19% of homes here. Their lofts tend to be smaller and are often reached through a narrow hatch on the landing, so access is one of the first things we look at. The insulation needs to meet the party walls on each side with no gaps.

With 41% of homes owned outright, many people in Stratton St Margaret have lived in the same house for years. Insulation laid decades ago was often thinner than today’s recommended depth and may have settled, so a top-up is worth checking.
