Loft services in Wokingham
What that means for your loft
With 46% of homes detached, larger lofts are common here. A bigger roof space takes more insulation, and it is worth checking that ventilation at the eaves is kept clear across the whole area.
22% of households in Wokingham 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.

Loft insulation in Wokingham: questions
How common are detached houses in Wokingham?
Very: 46% of households lived in detached houses at the 2021 Census, the largest group, ahead of semi-detached houses at 22%.
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.
Is a big loft a problem?
No, it just takes more material and a little longer. Larger lofts also leave more room for raised storage boarding above the insulation if you want it.
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.
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.
