Loft insulation for Waltham Abbey homes
26% of homes in Waltham Abbey are semi-detached. Semis have one shared wall and a roomy loft, so getting the insulation right makes a real difference to the bedrooms.
Terraced homes make up 34% of the area. Their lofts are usually small, so insulating them properly is quick and makes the upstairs noticeably cosier.
32% of homes in Waltham Abbey are flats. If yours is on the top floor, the loft above usually belongs to the freeholder, so check your lease first.
Signs your loft could do more include the heating running for longer than you’d like, a loft nobody has looked in for years or pipes in the loft that need protecting. The loft is usually the place to start.
