The loft jobs we see in Sidmouth
Detached houses make up 35% of homes in Sidmouth. With no party walls, the insulation runs to the eaves on every side, so keeping airflow clear all the way round matters.
Semi-detached houses account for 19% of homes. In many, an older thin layer just needs bringing up to depth with a second layer across the joists, in mineral wool or a natural alternative.
With 59% of homes owned outright, plenty of lofts in Sidmouth were insulated a long time ago. If yours sits level with the joists, a top-up across them is usually all it needs.

Questions about loft insulation in Sidmouth
How many homes in Sidmouth are houses?
75% of households live in a house or bungalow and 24% in a flat or maisonette, according to the 2021 Census.
My loft is large. Will natural insulation cost a lot more?
It costs more than mineral wool, and a bigger loft makes the difference larger. Your quote can show both so you can compare.
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.
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.
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.
