Loft insulation for Rickmansworth homes
With 42% of households in semis, a lot of Rickmansworth lofts double as storage. A raised floor keeps your things and your warmth.
15% of homes in Rickmansworth 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.
25% of homes in Rickmansworth are flats. If yours is on the top floor, the loft above usually belongs to the freeholder, so check your lease first.
Homeowners often tell us about a chilly top-floor bathroom, boxes sitting on the insulation or the heating running for longer than you’d like. We’ll take a look and tell you honestly what would help.

My loft is boarded. Is the insulation underneath enough?
