Lofts in Wimborne Minster

Detached houses make up 42% of homes in Wimborne Minster. With no party walls, the insulation runs to the eaves on every side, so keeping airflow clear all the way round matters.

21% of homes in Wimborne Minster 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.

42% 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.
