Loft services in Stanley
What it means for the lofts here
Terraces make up 52% 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.
30% of homes in Stanley 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.
Private renting is common in Stanley (20% of households). Landlords are responsible for the building, and a warm, well-ventilated loft is one of the simpler improvements to a rented home.

Questions about loft insulation in Stanley
What are most homes in Stanley like?
The most common are terraced houses (52% of households at the 2021 Census), followed by semi-detached houses at 30%.
I’m in a village outside Stanley. Can I still ask?
Of course. Villages and nearby towns such as Chester-le-Street, Birtley, Whickham, Consett and Blaydon are all covered. See all the towns we list in County Durham.
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.
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 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.
