26% of homes in South Ockendon are semi-detached. Semis have one shared wall and a roomy loft, so getting the insulation right makes a real difference to the bedrooms.

Questions from homeowners in South Ockendon
What kind of homes are there in South Ockendon?
Mostly terraced homes (37% of households in 2021), then flats (27%).
Can I keep using my loft for storage?
Yes. A raised floor above the insulation keeps your storage and your warmth.
My home is just outside South Ockendon. Can you help?
Of course. We cover Chafford Hundred and West Thurrock, Grays, Chadwell St Mary, Swanscombe and Tilbury and the villages around them. See all our towns in Thurrock.
Is sheep’s wool good for an older terrace?
It can be, as it copes well with moisture. Mineral wool works too and costs less; we can quote for both.
Why insulate the loft first?
Heat rises, so the loft is where a lot of warmth can escape. It’s usually the simplest place to start.
Is the quote free?
Yes, and there’s no obligation.
