Loft insulation in Tadley’s homes

35% of households in Tadley 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.

With 23% of homes terraced, many lofts in Tadley are long and narrow, bounded by party walls on both sides. Insulation should run right up to each party wall, and we check that the wall between lofts is complete, as in some older terraces it isn’t.

42% of households own their home outright. If your loft was last insulated many years ago, it may well be below the depth recommended today, as older layers were thinner and settle over time.

Loft insulation in Tadley: questions

Are most homes in Tadley houses or flats?

Houses: 90% of households live in a detached, semi-detached or terraced house or bungalow, and 9% in a flat or maisonette (Census 2021). The most common single type is semi-detached houses, at 35%.

I live just outside Tadley. Can I still enquire?

Of course. Coverage isn’t limited to the town: enquiries come from right across England and Wales, including Thatcham, Basingstoke, Newbury, Reading and Caversham. See every town we list in Hampshire.

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.

My loft was insulated years ago. Is that enough?

Possibly not. Older insulation was often laid thinner than the depth recommended today, and mineral wool settles over time. If it sits level with the top of the joists or below, a top-up is worth considering.

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.

Who will carry out the work?

We will. We look at the loft, quote in writing and, if you go ahead, carry out the work on a date that suits you.
