Lofts in Sunderland
With 48% 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 (26%). In a smaller loft, storage tends to end up sitting on the insulation, so a modest raised floor is often worth adding.

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.
Do you quote for landlords in Sunderland?
Yes, in the same way as for homeowners.
How can I tell if mine is too thin?
If you can see the tops of the joists, it probably is.

Yes. A floor raised on legs above the insulation keeps the storage without squashing the insulation.
