Loft insulation in Wellington’s homes

Semis make up 31% of homes here. In many, the loft is used for storage and the insulation has been pushed aside or flattened over the years, so even an insulated loft can be worth a second look.

Terraced houses make up 28% 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.

Loft insulation in Wellington: questions

Are most homes in Wellington houses or flats?

Houses: 84% of households live in a detached, semi-detached or terraced house or bungalow, and 17% in a flat or maisonette (Census 2021). The most common single type is semi-detached houses, at 31%.

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.

Which areas near Wellington do you cover?

What if there’s damp or mould in my loft?

Mention it when you enquire. Damp or mouldy insulation normally needs removing, and the cause (a leak or poor ventilation, for example) dealing with, before new insulation goes in.

Can landlords in Wellington get quotes?

Yes. 17% of households in Wellington rent privately, and landlords can request a quote in the same way as owner-occupiers. Tenants should raise insulation with their landlord rather than arranging work themselves.

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.
