What Newcastle upon Tyne lofts usually need

33% of Newcastle upon Tyne’s housing is semi-detached. In older semis the hatch is often small; we can enlarge it for a ladder.

With 24% of homes terraced, compact lofts are common in Newcastle upon Tyne. Keep the eaves clear and the job is usually done in a morning.

34% of homes in Newcastle upon Tyne are flats. The loft above a top-floor flat usually belongs to the freeholder, so check your lease first.

Private renting is common in Newcastle upon Tyne (24%). A loft insulated to full depth is one of the quickest improvements a landlord can make.

On the visit we note whether the roof is trussed or traditional, the size of the hatch and where a ladder would land and the depth of the insulation in a few places. Then every part goes in the quote with its own price.
