Keeping Huddersfield homes warm

31% of homes in Huddersfield are semi-detached. Semis have one shared wall and a roomy loft, so getting the insulation right makes a real difference to the bedrooms.

36% of homes in Huddersfield 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.

With 24% renting privately, we often help landlords here, usually in a single day with tenants at home.

Homeowners often tell us about boxes sitting on the insulation, old, flattened insulation in the loft or bedrooms that never quite warm up. We can help with every one of them.
