What it means for the lofts here
With 35% of households in semis, a common job here is topping up insulation that was laid years ago and adding storage that doesn’t squash it.
About a quarter of homes here are terraced (23%). In a smaller loft, storage tends to end up sitting on the insulation, so a modest raised floor is often worth adding.

Yes. A floor raised on legs above the insulation keeps the storage without squashing the insulation.

Yes, in the same way as for homeowners.
I’m in a village outside Braintree. Can I still ask?
Of course. Villages and nearby towns such as Halstead, Witham, Great Dunmow, Chelmsford and Maldon are all covered. See all the towns we list in Essex.
Do I need to clear the loft first?
The floor needs to be clear. If that’s a big job, tell us and we can include it.
