Taunton’s housing at a glance
Taunton had 61,700 residents at the 2021 Census, living in about 28,800 households. Census 2021 shows semi-detached as the most common home type (30%), then terraced (27%); flats or maisonettes come to 24% and detached houses or bungalows to 19%. More than half of households are owner-occupiers (59%); private renters make up 22% and social renters 19%. Around 57% of homes have three or more bedrooms. The median age of residents is 41.
What that means for your loft
With 30% of homes semi-detached, a common job in Taunton is bringing an existing layer up to depth and adding raised storage boards so the insulation isn’t squashed.
Rows of terraced homes account for 27% of the housing in Taunton. In a terrace, heat can be lost through a thin or patchy layer just as easily as through an empty loft, so we look at how even the existing insulation is as well as how deep.
22% of households in Taunton rent privately. If you’re a tenant, speak to your landlord: they arrange and pay for improvements to the building. Privately rented homes in England and Wales generally need an energy performance rating of at least E to be let.

Loft insulation in Taunton: questions
How common are semi-detached houses in Taunton?
Very: 30% of households lived in semi-detached houses at the 2021 Census, the largest group, ahead of terraced houses at 27%.
Why can’t I see prices on the website?
Because every loft is different. The area, what’s up there already, access and any extra work change the price, so we quote once we know about your home.
Will I lose my loft storage?
Not necessarily. Raised boarding sits on supports above the insulation, so the insulation keeps its full depth and you keep somewhere to store things.
I rent my home in Taunton. Can I get loft insulation?
Talk to your landlord first, as changes to the building are their decision and normally their cost. Council and housing association tenants should contact their landlord’s repairs or maintenance team. Landlords can ask us for a quote just as homeowners do.
