Around 60% of homes have three or more bedrooms. The median age of residents is 38.

What that means for your loft

Semi-detached homes (45% here) share one party wall and often have a reasonable amount of loft space. That makes them good candidates for raised boarding over the insulation if you want to keep using the loft for storage.

28% of households in Castleford live in a terraced house. Terrace lofts are usually compact, which keeps the amount of material down, but the work is in getting good coverage up to the party walls and into the eaves without blocking ventilation.

Loft insulation in Castleford: questions

How common are semi-detached houses in Castleford?

Very: 45% of households lived in semi-detached houses at the 2021 Census, the largest group, ahead of terraced houses at 28%.

Will I lose my loft storage?

Not necessarily. Raised boarding sits on supports above the insulation, so the insulation keeps its full depth and you keep somewhere to store things.

How deep should loft insulation be?

For mineral wool, 270mm is the depth commonly recommended in UK lofts. Other materials reach a similar level at different thicknesses.

I rent my home in Castleford. Can I get loft insulation?

Talk to your landlord first, as changes to the building are their decision and normally their cost. Council and housing association tenants should contact their landlord’s repairs or maintenance team. Landlords can ask us for a quote just as homeowners do.
