The loft jobs we see in Cottingham
With 43% 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 one in eight of homes here are terraced (16%). In a smaller loft, storage tends to end up sitting on the insulation, so a modest raised floor is often worth adding.
46% of households own their home outright, so many people have been in the same house for years. Insulation laid back then was often thinner than what’s suggested today and may have settled since.

Questions about loft insulation in Cottingham
What are most homes in Cottingham like?
The most common are semi-detached houses (43% of households at the 2021 Census), followed by detached houses at 25%.
How can I tell if mine is too thin?
If you can see the tops of the joists, it probably is.
Can I keep my loft storage?
Yes. A floor raised on legs above the insulation keeps the storage without squashing the insulation.
I’m in a village outside Cottingham. Can I still ask?
Of course. Villages and nearby towns such as Willerby and Anlaby, Kingston upon Hull, Beverley, Hessle and Barton-upon-Humber are all covered. See all the towns we list in East Riding of Yorkshire.
Does sheep’s wool insulate as well as mineral wool?
About as well, depth for depth. People choose it because it’s pleasant to handle and copes well with damp.
My loft was insulated years ago. Should I add more?
Very possibly. If it sits level with the top of the joists or below, a second layer across them is usually worthwhile.
