The loft jobs we see in Tilbury
Terraces make up 39% 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.
27% of homes in Tilbury 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.
Flats and maisonettes account for 29% 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.
Private renting is common in Tilbury (22% of households). Landlords are responsible for the building, and a warm, well-ventilated loft is one of the simpler improvements to a rented home.
