Lofts in Grays
With 36% 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 (24%). 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 29% 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.
Private renting is common in Grays (21% of households). Landlords are responsible for the building, and a warm, well-ventilated loft is one of the simpler improvements to a rented home.
