Loft insulation in Totton’s homes
32% of households in Totton 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.
Rows of terraced homes account for 24% of the housing in Totton. 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.

Loft insulation in Totton: questions
Are most homes in Totton houses or flats?
Houses: 87% of households live in a detached, semi-detached or terraced house or bungalow, and 12% in a flat or maisonette (Census 2021). The most common single type is semi-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.
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.
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.
Do you cover the villages around Totton?
Yes. We take enquiries from anywhere in England and Wales, so villages and smaller places around Totton are covered too, as are nearby towns such as Southampton, Romsey, Hythe and Dibden Purlieu, Chandler's Ford and West End. See every town we list in Hampshire.
