Common loft jobs in Ross-on-Wye
Detached homes (34% in Ross-on-Wye) usually have the largest lofts, so the area to cover and the amount of material are greater. More space also means more room for boarded storage above the insulation.
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; 24% of homes in Ross-on-Wye are semi-detached.
21% of households in Ross-on-Wye rent privately. If you’re a tenant, speak to your landlord: they arrange and pay for improvements to the building. Privately rented homes in England and Wales generally need an energy performance rating of at least E to be let.
42% 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.
