Questions from homeowners in Killingworth
Do most people in Killingworth live in houses?
86% of households live in a house or bungalow and 14% in a flat (2021 Census).
I rent my home in Killingworth. Can I get my loft insulated?

How deep should loft insulation be?
Around 270 mm is commonly recommended for mineral wool.
My loft is boarded. Is the insulation underneath enough?
Often not, because boards on the joists squash it. We can lift them, insulate and put them back on legs.
How long will it take?
Most lofts are done in a day.
