Questions about loft insulation in Hitchin
How many homes in Hitchin are houses?
70% of households live in a house or bungalow and 29% in a flat or maisonette, according to the 2021 Census.
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.
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.
Do you cover places near Hitchin?
Yes, we work across England and Wales, including Letchworth, Baldock, Stotfold, Stevenage and Luton. See all the towns we list in Hertfordshire.
How long does the work take?
Most lofts are done in a day. Taking out old insulation or adding boarding can add time; the quote will say.
