Keeping Hockley and Hawkwell homes warm

47% of homes in Hockley and Hawkwell are semi-detached. Semis have one shared wall and a roomy loft, so getting the insulation right makes a real difference to the bedrooms.

5% of homes in Hockley and Hawkwell are terraced. Terraced houses share walls with their neighbours, which helps, but the roof is still where most warmth can slip away, so the loft is the place to start.

48% of households own outright, so many people have lived in their homes for years. Insulation laid back then is often thinner than recommended today.

Homeowners often tell us about the heating running for longer than you’d like, a cold draught on the landing or boxes sitting on the insulation. We can help with every one of them.

Can I keep using my loft for storage?

Yes. A raised floor above the insulation keeps your storage and your warmth.

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.

Will it be messy?

We protect your landing, keep the dust in the loft and take the waste away.
