What we do for homes in Thundersley and South Benfleet

Semi-detached homes account for 47%. Many were insulated years ago, and a top-up across the joists brings them up to today’s commonly recommended depth.

Terraced homes make up 5% of the area. Their lofts are usually small, so insulating them properly is quick and makes the upstairs noticeably cosier.

With 46% of homes owned outright, plenty of Thundersley and South Benfleet lofts still have their original insulation. A top-up can make a lovely difference.

Signs your loft could do more include warmth that fades soon after the heating goes off, an icy hatch above the stairs or boxes sitting on the insulation. None of them need a big job to fix.
