What it means for the lofts here
With 31% 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 one in eight of homes here are terraced (16%). In a smaller loft, storage tends to end up sitting on the insulation, so a modest raised floor is often worth adding.
48% of households own their home outright, so many people have been in the same house for years. Insulation laid back then was often thinner than what’s suggested today and may have settled since.

I’m in a village outside Whitstable. Can I still ask?
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.
Can I keep my loft storage?
Yes. A floor raised on legs above the insulation keeps the storage without squashing the insulation.
