Loft insulation for Uppermill homes
31% of homes in Uppermill are semi-detached. Semis have one shared wall and a roomy loft, so getting the insulation right makes a real difference to the bedrooms.
26% of Uppermill’s homes are terraces. A draughty landing under the hatch is common in them, and an insulated hatch sorts it.
47% of households own outright, so many people have lived in their homes for years. Insulation laid back then is often thinner than recommended today.
Common clues are the heating running for longer than you’d like, ceilings upstairs that feel cold to the touch or a cold draught on the landing. The loft is usually the place to start.

Questions from homeowners in Uppermill
Do most people in Uppermill live in houses?
85% of households live in a house or bungalow and 15% in a flat (2021 Census).
How deep should loft insulation be?
Around 270 mm is commonly recommended for mineral wool.
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.
How long will it take?
Most lofts are done in a day.
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.
