Common loft jobs in Thatcham
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; 38% of homes in Thatcham are semi-detached.
21% of households in Thatcham 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 Thatcham: questions
What kind of homes are there in Thatcham?
At the 2021 Census, 38% of households in Thatcham lived in semi-detached houses, 27% in detached houses, 21% in terraced houses and 13% in flats.
I rent my home in Thatcham. 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.
Do I need to empty my loft first?
Usually the floor of the loft needs to be clear so the whole area can be insulated. We will tell you what we need when you book.
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.
Do you cover the villages around Thatcham?
Yes. We take enquiries from anywhere in England and Wales, so villages and smaller places around Thatcham are covered too, as are nearby towns such as Newbury, Tadley, Basingstoke, Reading and Caversham. See every town we list in West Berkshire.
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.
