Questions about loft insulation in Cranleigh
What are most homes in Cranleigh like?
The most common are detached houses (42% of households at the 2021 Census), followed by semi-detached houses at 26%.
Does sheep’s wool insulate as well as mineral wool?
About as well, depth for depth. People choose it because it’s pleasant to handle and copes well with damp.
I’m in a village outside Cranleigh. Can I still ask?
My loft is large. Will natural insulation cost a lot more?
It costs more than mineral wool, and a bigger loft makes the difference larger. Your quote can show both so you can compare.
Is natural insulation more expensive?
Usually, yes. Sheep’s wool and recycled polyester cost more than mineral wool; we can quote for both.
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.
