Loft insulation for Buxton homes
32% of the area’s homes are semi-detached. If you can see the joists in yours, there’s warmth to be kept.
25% of homes in Buxton are terraced. Terraced houses share walls with their neighbours, which helps, but the roof is still where most warmth can slip away, so the loft is the place to start.
25% of homes in Buxton are flats. If yours is on the top floor, the loft above usually belongs to the freeholder, so check your lease first.
With 20% renting privately, we often help landlords here, usually in a single day with tenants at home.
Many households here (40%) own outright. If your loft was done a long time ago, it’s worth a look.
Signs your loft could do more include a cold draught on the landing, an icy hatch above the stairs or bedrooms that never quite warm up. It costs nothing to find out.
