Lofts in Reading
Semis (28% of homes in Reading) often have lofts that have slowly filled with boxes. Insulation pressed flat underneath works far less well; raising the storage lets it recover its depth.
With 25% of households in terraced homes, small lofts reached through a narrow landing hatch are common in Reading. They’re quick to insulate well, as long as the eaves are kept clear.
31% of homes in Reading are flats. Only the top floor sits under a roof space, which usually belongs to the freeholder, so it’s worth checking your lease before planning any work.
29% of households rent privately. If you’re renting, insulation is something to raise with your landlord, who looks after the building; landlords can ask us for a quote in the usual way.
