Common loft jobs in Woking

With 24% of homes semi-detached, a common job in Woking is bringing an existing layer up to depth and adding raised storage boards so the insulation isn’t squashed.

Terraced houses make up 19% 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.

Around 31% of Woking homes are flats or maisonettes. If your flat is on the top floor, the loft above is often shared with neighbours or belongs to the freeholder, so permission comes first.

Private renting is common here (23% of households). Tenants should raise insulation with their landlord, who is responsible for the building; landlords can request a quote through us like any homeowner.
