Loft insulation for Mountsorrel homes
Semi-detached homes account for 34%. Many were insulated years ago, and a top-up across the joists brings them up to today’s commonly recommended depth.
About one in five of homes here are terraced (19%). Older terraces often suit natural materials like sheep’s wool, which cope well with moisture.
Common clues are a cold draught on the landing, joists showing through thin insulation or boxes sitting on the insulation. It costs nothing to find out.
