Loft insulation in Great Yarmouth

What that means for your loft

Around two in five of homes in Great Yarmouth are terraced (44%). Small lofts mean smaller jobs, but storage often ends up on the insulation in a tight space, so many terrace jobs combine a top-up with a small area of raised boarding.

With 14% of homes semi-detached, a common job in Great Yarmouth is bringing an existing layer up to depth and adding raised storage boards so the insulation isn’t squashed.

34% of households here live in flats. A flat usually only has a loft above it on the top floor, and work in a shared roof space needs the agreement of whoever manages the building, so mention this when you enquire.

With 38% of households in private rented homes, tenants in Great Yarmouth should talk to their landlord about insulation. Most improvements to the building are the landlord’s to arrange.
