Bradford's housing and what it means for insulation
Stone terraces and back-to-backs across Manningham, Great Horton and Bradford Moor, Victorian villas in Heaton, inter-war semis in Bierley and Wibsey, and stone-slate roofs across the Aire and Worth valleys in Bingley, Keighley and Ilkley.

Stone-slate roofs on old rafters in Bradford
Manningham and Great Horton's stone terraces and the Aire valley's stone-slate roofs sit on rafters sized a century ago; weight and depth are the first considerations.
Heavy stone slates on rafters that were sized a century or more ago leave very little depth and no tolerance for extra load. A thin, light multifoil quilt under the rafters is often the only rafter-level option that does not require structural work, but ventilation of a stone roof with no underlay has to be designed rather than assumed. The survey establishes rafter size, spacing and condition and whether the roof breathes.
Coverage around Bradford
Assessment and installation are allocated by postcode and project type across Bradford and these surrounding areas:
We also cover Sheffield, York, Leeds and the rest of Yorkshire.
How it works, briefly
Postcode → property questions → assessment where a physical inspection is needed → recommendation → fixed quote → installation. Every step runs to the InsulationMatch installation standard; the installing company is named on the quote. Multifoil itself is explained in the multifoil guide, and what moves a price in the cost guide. Local ranges are published here only once genuine Bradford quotes exist.
Local projects
Documented Bradford projects are added to the project library as they complete. Until then the library's typical project scenarios show how the housing above is assessed.
