Loft insulation for Gateshead homes
Semi-detached homes account for 41%. Many were insulated years ago, and a top-up across the joists brings them up to today’s commonly recommended depth.
With 22% of homes terraced, plenty of Gateshead families have compact lofts above high-ceilinged bedrooms. A good layer of insulation keeps those rooms warm.
30% of homes in Gateshead are flats. If yours is on the top floor, the loft above usually belongs to the freeholder, so check your lease first.
Common clues are bedrooms that never quite warm up, pipes in the loft that need protecting or a loft nobody has looked in for years. It costs nothing to find out.
