What homes in Gillingham look like
Gillingham is made up of some 5,220 households, according to the 2021 Census. The split is 35% detached houses and bungalows, 31% semis, 20% terraces, 13% flats and maisonettes. 71% of homes are owner-occupied, 41% of them mortgage-free; 19% are let privately and 10% by social landlords.
What Gillingham lofts usually need
With 31% of households in semis, we often find boards nailed straight to the joists with thin, squashed insulation underneath.
20% of homes in Gillingham 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.
41% of households own outright, so many lofts here were insulated years ago to a lower standard. A top-up across the joists is usually the fix.
On the visit we note how the cables run, the size of the hatch and where a ladder would land and the depth of the insulation in a few places. Then every part goes in the quote with its own price.
