Terraces make up 36% 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.

I’m in a village outside Rochester. Can I still ask?
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.
Is natural insulation more expensive?
Usually, yes. Sheep’s wool and recycled polyester cost more than mineral wool; we can quote for both.
Can I keep my loft storage?
Yes. A floor raised on legs above the insulation keeps the storage without squashing the insulation.
Do you quote for landlords in Rochester?
Yes, in the same way as for homeowners.
