Questions about loft insulation in Calne
How many homes in Calne are houses?
88% of households live in a house or bungalow and 12% in a flat or maisonette, according to the 2021 Census.
I rent in Calne. Can I have my loft insulated?
It’s your landlord’s decision, as they’re responsible for the building. Council and housing association tenants should contact their landlord’s repairs team. Landlords can ask us for a quote.
My loft is boarded straight onto the joists. Is that a problem?
It usually means the insulation underneath is squashed. We can lift the boards, insulate properly and refit them on a raised floor.
How long does the work take?
Most lofts are done in a day. Taking out old insulation or adding boarding can add time; the quote will say.
How deep should my loft insulation be?
Around 270 mm is the depth commonly recommended for mineral wool. We’ll suggest a depth for your loft in the quote.
