Homes in Kirkby

Some 45,600 people call Kirkby home, making up about 20,300 households (Census 2021). Census 2021 shows semi-detached as the most common home type (41%), then terraced (36%); detached houses or bungalows come to 14% and flats or maisonettes to 10%.

What that means for your loft

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; 41% of homes in Kirkby are semi-detached.

Terraced houses make up 36% of homes here. Their lofts tend to be smaller and are often reached through a narrow hatch on the landing, so access is one of the first things we look at. The insulation needs to meet the party walls on each side with no gaps.
