Loft services in Oakham
What it means for the lofts here
Detached houses make up 40% of homes in Oakham. With no party walls, the insulation runs to the eaves on every side, so keeping airflow clear all the way round matters.
Semi-detached houses account for 26% 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.
With 43% of homes owned outright, plenty of lofts in Oakham were insulated a long time ago. If yours sits level with the joists, a top-up across them is usually all it needs.
