Lofts in Newbury
Semis (26% of homes in Newbury) 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 20% of households in terraced homes, small lofts reached through a narrow landing hatch are common in Newbury. They’re quick to insulate well, as long as the eaves are kept clear.
32% of homes in Newbury 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.
21% of households rent privately. If you’re renting, insulation is something to raise with your landlord, who looks after the building; landlords can ask us for a quote in the usual way.
