Insulating and boarding in Northfleet
31% of Northfleet’s housing is semi-detached. In older semis the hatch is often small; we can enlarge it for a ladder.
About a third of homes here are terraces (36%). Older ones may have roofs without felt, which makes airflow at the eaves important.
25% of homes in Northfleet are flats. The loft above a top-floor flat usually belongs to the freeholder, so check your lease first.
With 24% of homes let privately, we often work for landlords here and send photos when we’re done.
On the visit we note how deep and how far apart the joists are, the size of the hatch and where a ladder would land and where the tank and pipes sit. It takes well under an hour.
