The loft jobs we see in Shoreham-by-Sea

With 33% of households in semis, a common job here is topping up insulation that was laid years ago and adding storage that doesn’t squash it.

About a quarter of homes here are terraced (23%). In a smaller loft, storage tends to end up sitting on the insulation, so a modest raised floor is often worth adding.

Flats and maisonettes account for 26% of homes here. If yours is on the top floor, the loft above is often shared, and the freeholder or managing agent will need to agree to any work.

40% of households own their home outright, so many people have been in the same house for years. Insulation laid back then was often thinner than what’s suggested today and may have settled since.

Questions about loft insulation in Shoreham-by-Sea

What are most homes in Shoreham-by-Sea like?

The most common are semi-detached houses (33% of households at the 2021 Census), followed by flats at 26%.

Can I keep my loft storage?

Yes. A floor raised on legs above the insulation keeps the storage without squashing the insulation.

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.

Does sheep’s wool insulate as well as mineral wool?

About as well, depth for depth. People choose it because it’s pleasant to handle and copes well with damp.

Is natural insulation more expensive?

Usually, yes. Sheep’s wool and recycled polyester cost more than mineral wool; we can quote for both.

I’m in a village outside Shoreham-by-Sea. Can I still ask?

Of course. Villages and nearby towns such as Southwick, Lancing and Sompting, Worthing, Brighton and Hove and Hassocks and Hurstpierpoint are all covered. See all the towns we list in West Sussex.
