Loft insulation for Newbury homes
About a quarter of homes here are semis (26%), often family homes where the loft has been filling up for years.
About one in five of homes here are terraced (20%). Older terraces often suit natural materials like sheep’s wool, which cope well with moisture.
32% of homes in Newbury are flats. If yours is on the top floor, the loft above usually belongs to the freeholder, so check your lease first.
With 21% renting privately, we often help landlords here, usually in a single day with tenants at home.
Homeowners often tell us about a top floor that feels colder than downstairs, bedrooms that never quite warm up or a chilly top-floor bathroom. It costs nothing to find out.

How deep should loft insulation be?
Around 270 mm is commonly recommended for mineral wool.
My loft is boarded. Is the insulation underneath enough?

How long will it take?
Most lofts are done in a day.
Can you insulate the loft above my flat?
Usually only with the freeholder’s or managing agent’s agreement. Check your lease first.
