What it means for the lofts here
Semi-detached houses account for 36% of homes. In many, an older thin layer just needs bringing up to depth with a second layer across the joists, in mineral wool or a natural alternative.
19% of homes in Matlock are terraced. Terrace lofts are usually compact, with brick party walls either side; the insulation should meet each wall without gaps, and we check the walls themselves are complete.
With 44% of homes owned outright, plenty of lofts in Matlock were insulated a long time ago. If yours sits level with the joists, a top-up across them is usually all it needs.
