What it means for the lofts here
Semis (48% of homes in Dunscroft and Hatfield) often have lofts that have slowly filled with boxes. Insulation pressed flat underneath works far less well; raising the storage lets it recover its depth.
With 13% of households in terraced homes, small lofts reached through a narrow landing hatch are common in Dunscroft and Hatfield. They’re quick to insulate well, as long as the eaves are kept clear.
With 40% of homes owned outright, plenty of lofts in Dunscroft and Hatfield were insulated a long time ago. If yours sits level with the joists, a top-up across them is usually all it needs.

Questions about loft insulation in Dunscroft and Hatfield
How many homes in Dunscroft and Hatfield are houses?
95% of households live in a house or bungalow and 3% in a flat or maisonette, according to the 2021 Census.
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.
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.
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.
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.
