I had a mag mount with a spring whip in my loft and it didn't work... The SWR was always sky high and wouldn't go down...
It worked better stuck on my radiator on the ground floor!

A 18ft GP works well in the loft though a bit directional . 8ft 3in either side Wire dipole works quite good in the loft .
