Detached houses make up 49% of homes in Canvey Island. With no party walls, the insulation runs to the eaves on every side, so keeping airflow clear all the way round matters.
With 26% of households in semis, a common job here is topping up insulation that was laid years ago and adding storage that doesn’t squash it.
44% of households own their home outright, so many people have been in the same house for years. Insulation laid back then was often thinner than what’s suggested today and may have settled since.

Do I need to clear the loft first?
The floor needs to be clear. If that’s a big job, tell us and we can include it.
My loft was insulated years ago. Should I add more?
Very possibly. If it sits level with the top of the joists or below, a second layer across them is usually worthwhile.
Is natural insulation more expensive?
Usually, yes. Sheep’s wool and recycled polyester cost more than mineral wool; we can quote for both.
Do you quote for landlords in Canvey Island?
Yes, in the same way as for homeowners.
