What it means for the lofts here
Terraces make up 59% of the housing here. Many are older, with roofs that like to stay dry, so breathable materials such as sheep’s wool can be a comfortable fit alongside good airflow at the eaves.
23% of homes in Padiham are semi-detached. A typical semi has a roomy loft with one party wall, plenty of space to insulate well and often to store things too, on a floor raised above the insulation.
Private renting is common in Padiham (27% of households). Landlords are responsible for the building, and a warm, well-ventilated loft is one of the simpler improvements to a rented home.

Questions about loft insulation in Padiham
What are most homes in Padiham like?
The most common are terraced houses (59% of households at the 2021 Census), followed by semi-detached houses at 23%.
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.
How can I tell if mine is too thin?
If you can see the tops of the joists, it probably is.
