What it means for the lofts here
Semis (25% of homes in Hertford) 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 30% of households in terraced homes, small lofts reached through a narrow landing hatch are common in Hertford. They’re quick to insulate well, as long as the eaves are kept clear.
31% of homes in Hertford 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.

Questions about loft insulation in Hertford
How many homes in Hertford are houses?
70% of households live in a house or bungalow and 31% in a flat or maisonette, according to the 2021 Census.
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.
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.
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.
