A warmer home in Wakefield
40% of the area’s homes are semi-detached. If you can see the joists in yours, there’s warmth to be kept.
About one in five of homes here are terraced (19%). Older terraces often suit natural materials like sheep’s wool, which cope well with moisture.
In a Wakefield home that needs more loft insulation, you might notice old, flattened insulation in the loft, joists showing through thin insulation or the heating running for longer than you’d like. It costs nothing to find out.

Questions from homeowners in Wakefield
Do most people in Wakefield live in houses?
80% of households live in a house or bungalow and 19% in a flat (2021 Census).
I rent my home in Wakefield. Can I get my loft insulated?
It’s your landlord’s decision, as they look after the building. Council and housing association tenants should ask their landlord. Landlords can ask us for a quote.
How much does loft insulation cost in Wakefield?
It depends on the size of your loft, what’s there now and the material. We’ll give you a free, written quote.
Do you cover homes near Wakefield?
My loft is boarded. Is the insulation underneath enough?
Often not, because boards on the joists squash it. We can lift them, insulate and put them back on legs.
Where does the insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear for air.
