Alongside Tyneside-style flats, Ashbrooke's Victorian terraces and Fulwell's inter-war semis, it makes the city's roof work distinctive.
Sunderland's housing and what it means for insulation
Single-storey Sunderland cottages — a local terrace type with shallow roofs — alongside Tyneside-style flats, Victorian terraces in Ashbrooke and Roker, inter-war semis in Fulwell and Barnes, and large post-war estates at Pennywell, Hylton and Thorney Close.

Upper Tyneside flats: a roof without much loft
Sunderland cottages have shallow roofs with little loft, and the city's Tyneside-style flats share party-wall details with the neighbouring pair — both need checking before any rafter work.
The upper flat in a Tyneside pair owns the roof but the loft above it is shallow and awkward, which makes rafter-level insulation attractive — it keeps whatever headroom exists and can be done from inside. The survey checks the party-wall detail with the neighbouring pair, the ventilation path across a long, low roof and the condition of the original slate before anything is specified.
Coverage around Sunderland
Assessment and installation are allocated by postcode and project type across Sunderland and these surrounding areas:
We also cover Newcastle upon Tyne, Durham, Middlesbrough and the rest of the North East.
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 Sunderland quotes exist.
Local projects
Documented Sunderland 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.
