36% of homes in Seaham 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.

Questions about loft insulation in Seaham
What are most homes in Seaham like?
The most common are terraced houses (40% of households at the 2021 Census), followed by semi-detached houses at 36%.
Can I keep my loft storage?
Yes. A floor raised on legs above the insulation keeps the storage without squashing the insulation.
Is sheep’s wool a good idea in an older terrace?
It can be: it copes well with moisture, which suits older homes. Mineral wool also works in a well-ventilated loft, and costs less.
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.
I’m in a village outside Seaham. Can I still ask?
Of course. Villages and nearby towns such as Houghton-le-Spring, Sunderland, Peterlee, Shiney Row and Penshaw and Washington are all covered. See all the towns we list in County Durham.
