What we do for homes in Ferndown
More than half of homes in Ferndown are detached (62%), including plenty of bungalows, where every room sits under the loft.
Semi-detached homes account for 9%. Many were insulated years ago, and a top-up across the joists brings them up to today’s commonly recommended depth.
59% of households own outright, so many people have lived in their homes for years. Insulation laid back then is often thinner than recommended today.
In a Ferndown home that needs more loft insulation, you might notice an icy hatch above the stairs, boxes sitting on the insulation or a top floor that feels colder than downstairs. Any one of them is a good reason to ask.

Questions from homeowners in Ferndown
What kind of homes are there in Ferndown?
Mostly detached homes (62% of households in 2021), then flats (22%).
My loft was insulated years ago. Should I add more?
If it’s level with the joists or below, a top-up is usually worthwhile.
I live in a bungalow. Is loft insulation worth it?
Very much: every room in a bungalow is under the loft, so the whole home benefits.
Is the quote free?
Yes, and there’s no obligation.
Why insulate the loft first?
Heat rises, so the loft is where a lot of warmth can escape. It’s usually the simplest place to start.
My home is just outside Ferndown. Can you help?
