The loft jobs we see in Hythe
Semis (28% of homes in Hythe) often have lofts that have slowly filled with boxes. Insulation pressed flat underneath works far less well; raising the storage lets it recover its depth.
With 20% of households in terraced homes, small lofts reached through a narrow landing hatch are common in Hythe. They’re quick to insulate well, as long as the eaves are kept clear.
With 49% of homes owned outright, plenty of lofts in Hythe were insulated a long time ago. If yours sits level with the joists, a top-up across them is usually all it needs.
