Questions about loft insulation in Herne
How many homes in Herne are houses?
94% of households live in a house or bungalow and 6% in a flat or maisonette, according to the 2021 Census.
My loft is large. Will natural insulation cost a lot more?

Do you cover places near Herne?
Yes, we work across England and Wales, including Herne Bay, Whitstable, Canterbury, Faversham and Margate. See all the towns we list in Kent.
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.
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.
