What that means for your loft
Detached houses (42% here) often have room for a full storage platform. If that’s what you want, raised boarding over properly deep insulation keeps the house warm and the space usable.
39% of households in Poynton live in a semi-detached house. A typical semi has a loft big enough for storage, a hatch on the landing and one party wall to insulate up to; we check all three.
With 52% of homes owned outright, many people in Poynton have lived in the same house for years. Insulation laid decades ago was often thinner than today’s recommended depth and may have settled, so a top-up is worth checking.

Loft insulation in Poynton: questions
What kind of homes are there in Poynton?
At the 2021 Census, 42% of households in Poynton lived in detached houses, 39% in semi-detached houses, 11% in terraced houses and 9% in flats.
My loft was insulated years ago. Is that enough?
Possibly not. Older insulation was often laid thinner than the depth recommended today, and mineral wool settles over time. If it sits level with the top of the joists or below, a top-up is worth considering.
How do I know if my loft needs more insulation?
If the insulation is level with or below the top of the joists, it’s likely well short of the 270mm commonly recommended for mineral wool. We will check when we look.
Who will carry out the work?
We will. We look at the loft, quote in writing and, if you go ahead, carry out the work on a date that suits you.

Is a big loft a problem?
No, it just takes more material and a little longer. Larger lofts also leave more room for raised storage boarding above the insulation if you want it.
