The loft jobs we see in Dorchester
With 20% 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 (30%). In a smaller loft, storage tends to end up sitting on the insulation, so a modest raised floor is often worth adding.
Flats and maisonettes account for 33% of homes here. If yours is on the top floor, the loft above is often shared, and the freeholder or managing agent will need to agree to any work.
41% 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.
Dorchester in numbers
Dorchester is home to around 10,600 households, according to the 2021 Census.

About as well, depth for depth. People choose it because it’s pleasant to handle and copes well with damp.
