Loft insulation for homes in Dronfield

Keeping Dronfield homes warm

Around two in five of homes here are semis (43%), often family homes where the loft has been filling up for years.

With 7% of homes terraced, plenty of Dronfield families have compact lofts above high-ceilinged bedrooms. A good layer of insulation keeps those rooms warm.

49% of households own outright, so many people have lived in their homes for years. Insulation laid back then is often thinner than recommended today.

Common clues are pipes in the loft that need protecting, warmth that fades soon after the heating goes off or ceilings upstairs that feel cold to the touch. Any one of them is a good reason to ask.
