The loft jobs we see in Shaw
With 40% of households in semis, a common job here is topping up insulation that was laid years ago and adding storage that doesn’t squash it.
About a third of homes here are terraced (35%). In a smaller loft, storage tends to end up sitting on the insulation, so a modest raised floor is often worth adding.
