Census 2021 recorded close to 5,030 households in Sherborne. The split is 33% terraces, 26% semis, 23% detached houses and bungalows, 17% flats and maisonettes. 62% of homes are owner-occupied, 43% of them mortgage-free; 19% are let privately and 19% by social landlords.
What Sherborne lofts usually need
26% of Sherborne’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 (33%). Older ones may have roofs without felt, which makes airflow at the eaves important.
43% of homes are owned outright. Long-settled insulation, often under years of storage, is common.
Our quote is based on how deep and how far apart the joists are, whether the roof is trussed or traditional and where the tank and pipes sit. Then every part goes in the quote with its own price.

Loft insulation in Sherborne: common questions
Are most homes in Sherborne houses or flats?
Houses or bungalows: 82%. Flats or maisonettes: 17% (Census 2021).
My loft was done years ago. Is it enough?
Measure it. If it’s level with the joists or less, a top-up across them is worth it.
Do you work near Sherborne?
Yes, all over England and Wales, including Yeovil, Gillingham, Street, Blandford Forum and Dorchester. See every town in Dorset.
How deep should loft insulation be?
About 270 mm is commonly recommended for mineral wool.
My loft boards are nailed to the joists. Is that a problem?
Usually the insulation underneath is squashed thin. We can lift the boards, insulate and put them back on legs.
How long does a loft take?
Most are done in a day, including boarding.
