What it means for the lofts here
Semi-detached houses account for 45% of homes. In many, an older thin layer just needs bringing up to depth with a second layer across the joists, in mineral wool or a natural alternative.
17% of homes in Darton are terraced. Terrace lofts are usually compact, with brick party walls either side; the insulation should meet each wall without gaps, and we check the walls themselves are complete.
With 40% of homes owned outright, plenty of lofts in Darton were insulated a long time ago. If yours sits level with the joists, a top-up across them is usually all it needs.

Do you cover places near Darton?
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.
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.
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.
Where will the insulation go?
On the loft floor, between the joists and in a layer across them, with the eaves left clear for air.
