What it means for the lofts here
With 38% 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 quarter of homes here are terraced (29%). In a smaller loft, storage tends to end up sitting on the insulation, so a modest raised floor is often worth adding.
Flats and maisonettes account for 28% of homes here. If yours is on the top floor, the loft above is often shared, and the freeholder or managing agent will need to agree to any work.

Questions about loft insulation in South Shields
What are most homes in South Shields like?
The most common are semi-detached houses (38% of households at the 2021 Census), followed by terraced houses at 29%.
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.
I’m in a village outside South Shields. Can I still ask?
Of course. Villages and nearby towns such as Jarrow, Tynemouth, Hebburn, Wallsend and Whitley Bay are all covered. See all the towns we list in South Tyneside.
How can I tell if mine is too thin?
If you can see the tops of the joists, it probably is.
Can I insulate the loft above my top-floor flat?
Usually only with the freeholder’s or managing agent’s agreement. Check your lease, then let us know when you get in touch.
Can I keep my loft storage?
Yes. A floor raised on legs above the insulation keeps the storage without squashing the insulation.
