The loft jobs we see in Bradford

38% of homes in Bradford are semi-detached. A typical semi has a roomy loft with one party wall, plenty of space to insulate well and often to store things too, on a floor raised above the insulation.

Terraces make up 34% of the housing here. Many are older, with roofs that like to stay dry, so breathable materials such as sheep’s wool can be a comfortable fit alongside good airflow at the eaves.

Private renting is common in Bradford (26% of households). Landlords are responsible for the building, and a warm, well-ventilated loft is one of the simpler improvements to a rented home.
