With 42% of households in semis, a common job here is topping up insulation that was laid years ago and adding storage that doesn’t squash it.

About a third of homes here are terraced (38%). In a smaller loft, storage tends to end up sitting on the insulation, so a modest raised floor is often worth adding.

Private renting is common in Platt Bridge and Abram (23% of households). Landlords are responsible for the building, and a warm, well-ventilated loft is one of the simpler improvements to a rented home.
