Common loft jobs in Great Wyrley and Cheslyn Hay

Many semis have lofts that have been part-boarded over the years, often straight onto the joists. Where that has flattened the insulation underneath, raised boarding lets you keep the storage and restore the insulation; 49% of homes in Great Wyrley and Cheslyn Hay are semi-detached.

Rows of terraced homes account for 16% of the housing in Great Wyrley and Cheslyn Hay. In a terrace, heat can be lost through a thin or patchy layer just as easily as through an empty loft, so we look at how even the existing insulation is as well as how deep.

44% of homes are owned outright, so many households have been in place for a long time. Insulation fitted when they moved in may be well short of today’s recommended depth, especially if the loft has been used for storage.
