Questions about loft insulation in Maesteg
How many homes in Maesteg are houses?
91% of households live in a house or bungalow and 8% in a flat or maisonette, according to the 2021 Census.
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.
Is sheep’s wool a good idea in an older terrace?
It can be: it copes well with moisture, which suits older homes. Mineral wool also works in a well-ventilated loft, and costs less.
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.
