78% of households live in a house or bungalow and 21% in a flat or maisonette, according to the 2021 Census.
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.
My loft is boarded straight onto the joists. Is that a problem?

I rent in Wantage. Can I have my loft insulated?
It’s your landlord’s decision, as they’re responsible for the building. Council and housing association tenants should contact their landlord’s repairs team. Landlords can ask us for a quote.
