Headingley's through-terraces, Roundhay's villas and Moortown's semis complete a very varied picture.
Leeds's housing and what it means for insulation
Leeds has the country's largest surviving stock of back-to-back terraces in Harehills, Beeston and Holbeck, through-terraces in Headingley and Kirkstall, Victorian villas in Roundhay and Chapel Allerton, inter-war semis in Moortown and Cross Gates, and large post-war estates at Seacroft and Middleton.
Typical Leeds enquiries

Back-to-back terraces in Leeds
Harehills, Beeston and Holbeck back-to-backs share a ridge with the neighbour and have only one open eave, which makes ventilation across the roof the first design question.
Back-to-backs share three walls with neighbours and have a single-aspect roof that meets the neighbour's at the ridge. The loft is small, the party structure is shared and access is often through a hatch in a bedroom. Rafter-level insulation is possible and can make a usable attic room, but the ridge junction, fire separation and ventilation across a roof with only one open eave are the details that decide it.
Coverage around Leeds
Assessment and installation are allocated by postcode and project type across Leeds and these surrounding areas:
We also cover Sheffield, Bradford, York 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 Leeds quotes exist.
Local projects
Documented Leeds 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.
