What it means for the lofts here
Semi-detached houses account for 36% 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.
26% of homes in Wells are terraced. Terrace lofts are usually compact, with brick party walls either side; the insulation should meet each wall without gaps, and we check the walls themselves are complete.
With 46% of homes owned outright, plenty of lofts in Wells 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 Wells
How many homes in Wells are houses?
84% of households live in a house or bungalow and 16% in a flat or maisonette, according to the 2021 Census.
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.
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.
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 Wells?
