Questions about loft insulation in Thundersley and South Benfleet
How many homes in Thundersley and South Benfleet are houses?
87% of households live in a house or bungalow and 12% 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.
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.
Do you cover places near Thundersley and South Benfleet?
Yes, we work across England and Wales, including Rayleigh, Canvey Island, Wickford, Hockley and Hawkwell and Southend-on-Sea. See all the towns we list in Essex.
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.
What will it cost in Thundersley and South Benfleet?
It depends on the size of the loft, what’s there now, the material and how easy the loft is to work in. We quote in writing, for free.
