What it means for the lofts here
More than half of homes here are terraced (63%). In a smaller loft, storage tends to end up sitting on the insulation, so a modest raised floor is often worth adding.
With 19% 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.
Private renting is common in Porth (20% of households). Landlords are responsible for the building, and a warm, well-ventilated loft is one of the simpler improvements to a rented home.
40% of households own their home outright, so many people have been in the same house for years. Insulation laid back then was often thinner than what’s suggested today and may have settled since.
