Loft services in Yeovil
What that means for your loft
Semis make up 34% 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.
With 27% of homes terraced, many lofts in Yeovil are long and narrow, bounded by party walls on both sides. Insulation should run right up to each party wall, and we check that the wall between lofts is complete, as in some older terraces it isn’t.
With 21% of households in private rented homes, tenants in Yeovil should talk to their landlord about insulation. Most improvements to the building are the landlord’s to arrange.

Loft insulation in Yeovil: questions
What kind of homes are there in Yeovil?
At the 2021 Census, 34% of households in Yeovil lived in semi-detached houses, 27% in terraced houses, 21% in detached houses and 18% in flats.
Can landlords in Yeovil get quotes?
Yes. 21% of households in Yeovil 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.
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.
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.
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.
