With 45% of households in terraced homes, small lofts reached through a narrow landing hatch are common in Stevenage. They’re quick to insulate well, as long as the eaves are kept clear.
Semis (20% of homes in Stevenage) 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.

Questions about loft insulation in Stevenage
How many homes in Stevenage are houses?

Do you cover places near Stevenage?

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.
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.
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.
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.
