The most common are detached houses (45% of households at the 2021 Census), followed by semi-detached houses at 23%.
Is natural insulation more expensive?

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.
My loft is large. Will natural insulation cost a lot more?
