Loft insulation in York’s homes
Semi-detached homes (34% 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.
Rows of terraced homes account for 29% of the housing in York. In a terrace, heat can be lost through a thin or patchy layer just as easily as through an empty loft, so we look at how even the existing insulation is as well as how deep.
25% 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 24% of households in private rented homes, tenants in York should talk to their landlord about insulation. Most improvements to the building are the landlord’s to arrange.
How to get a quote

We will usually want to know the type of house, roughly when it was built, and whether there is any insulation in the loft already. Photos of the loft can help if it’s easy to take them.
