What it means for the lofts here
With 44% of households in terraced homes, small lofts reached through a narrow landing hatch are common in Skipton. They’re quick to insulate well, as long as the eaves are kept clear.
Semis (27% of homes in Skipton) often have lofts that have slowly filled with boxes. Insulation pressed flat underneath works far less well; raising the storage lets it recover its depth.
21% of households rent privately. If you’re renting, insulation is something to raise with your landlord, who looks after the building; landlords can ask us for a quote in the usual way.
