The loft jobs we see in Rochester

32% of homes in Rochester 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.

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.

The most common are terraced houses (36% of households at the 2021 Census), followed by semi-detached houses at 32%.

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.
