What homes in Selby are like

Census 2021 counted roughly 9,040 households in Selby, with a population of about 19,500. By type, 38% of households live in semi-detached, 30% in terraced, 17% in detached houses or bungalows and 15% in flats or maisonettes. Most of the housing here is owner-occupied: 59% of households own their home, 20% rent from a private landlord and 20% rent social housing. The median age of residents is 39.

What that means for your loft

Semis make up 38% of homes here. In many, the loft is used for storage and the insulation has been pushed aside or flattened over the years, so even an insulated loft can be worth a second look.

Terraced houses make up 30% 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.

20% of homes here are let privately. Landlords are responsible for the building, and a well-insulated loft is one of the more straightforward improvements to a rented home’s energy rating.

Loft insulation in Selby: questions

How common are semi-detached houses in Selby?

Very: 38% of households lived in semi-detached houses at the 2021 Census, the largest group, ahead of terraced houses at 30%.

How much does loft insulation cost in Selby?

It depends on the size of the loft, how much insulation is there now, whether old material needs removing and how easy the loft is to work in. We give you a written quotation after finding out about your home.

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.

I rent my home in Selby. 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.

I live just outside Selby. Can I still enquire?

Of course. Coverage isn’t limited to the town: enquiries come from right across England and Wales, including Goole, Pontefract, Castleford, York and Thorne. See every town we list in North Yorkshire.

Do I need to empty my loft first?

Usually the floor of the loft needs to be clear so the whole area can be insulated. We will tell you what we need when you book.
