Loft insulation for Sherborne homes
26% of the area’s homes are semi-detached. If you can see the joists in yours, there’s warmth to be kept.
About a third of homes here are terraced (33%). Older terraces often suit natural materials like sheep’s wool, which cope well with moisture.
Many households here (43%) own outright. If your loft was done a long time ago, it’s worth a look.
It’s worth getting a quote if you’ve noticed an icy hatch above the stairs, a chilly top-floor bathroom or old, flattened insulation in the loft. It costs nothing to find out.

Questions from homeowners in Sherborne
Do most people in Sherborne live in houses?
82% of households live in a house or bungalow and 17% in a flat (2021 Census).
How long will it take?
Most lofts are done in a day.
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.
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.
