Housing in Dover
Dover is made up of some 16,800 households, according to the 2021 Census. The split is 38% terraces, 30% flats and maisonettes, 21% semis, 10% detached houses and bungalows. 54% of homes are owner-occupied, 28% of them mortgage-free; 28% are let privately and 18% by social landlords. Homes with three bedrooms or more: roughly 50%.
What Dover lofts usually need
With 21% of households in semis, we often find boards nailed straight to the joists with thin, squashed insulation underneath.
38% of homes in Dover are terraced. Terrace lofts are small, so full-depth insulation is quick; a strip of raised boarding by the hatch is often all the storage there’s room for.
30% of homes in Dover are flats. The loft above a top-floor flat usually belongs to the freeholder, so check your lease first.
With 28% of homes let privately, we often work for landlords here and send photos when we’re done.
On the visit we note whether the roof is trussed or traditional, the headroom where a storage floor could go and how the cables run. Then every part goes in the quote with its own price.

If you’d like a natural material such as sheep’s wool, say so and we’ll price it alongside mineral wool.
