What it means for the lofts here
42% of homes in Romiley 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 17% 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.
46% 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.

Questions about loft insulation in Romiley
What are most homes in Romiley like?
The most common are semi-detached houses (42% of households at the 2021 Census), followed by detached houses at 25%.
My loft was insulated years ago. Should I add more?
Very possibly. If it sits level with the top of the joists or below, a second layer across them is usually worthwhile.
I’m in a village outside Romiley. Can I still ask?
Of course. Villages and nearby towns such as Bredbury and Woodley, Marple, Hyde, Denton and Hazel Grove are all covered. See all the towns we list in Stockport.
Do I need to clear the loft first?
The floor needs to be clear. If that’s a big job, tell us and we can include it.
How can I tell if mine is too thin?
If you can see the tops of the joists, it probably is.
Can I keep my loft storage?
Yes. A floor raised on legs above the insulation keeps the storage without squashing the insulation.
