What it means for the lofts here
Semi-detached houses account for 26% 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.
22% of homes in Exmouth 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.
27% of homes in Exmouth are flats. Only the top floor sits under a roof space, which usually belongs to the freeholder, so it’s worth checking your lease before planning any work.
With 44% of homes owned outright, plenty of lofts in Exmouth 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 Exmouth
How many homes in Exmouth are houses?
73% of households live in a house or bungalow and 27% in a flat or maisonette, according to the 2021 Census.
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.

It depends on the size of the loft, what’s there now, the material and how easy the loft is to work in. We quote in writing, for free.
Can I insulate the loft above my top-floor flat?
Usually only with the freeholder’s or managing agent’s agreement. Check your lease, then let us know when you get in touch.
