Foil insulation for Leeds's housing stock

Leeds has the greatest concentration of back-to-back terraced housing in the UK — streets of these tightly-built Victorian terraces still survive across Harehills, Armley, Beeston and Holbeck. The original roofs are slate on shallow-pitch rafters, typically 100mm deep, with very limited loft space. Beyond the back-to-backs, the affluent Victorian suburbs of Headingley, Roundhay and Chapel Allerton feature larger bay-fronted terraces and the imposing detached villas that housed Leeds' mill-owner class. The 1930s suburbs of Moortown, Horsforth and Cookridge add a third layer — semi-detached and detached homes with steeper roofs and typically more generous rafter depths.

How we work in Leeds

Back-to-back roofs are a Superfoil contractor's puzzle piece. The loft void is often tiny, the rafters are rarely a consistent depth, and the junction between terraces can be fiddly if a previous crew has ever been up there. We've fitted SF19+ between rafters in LS9 and LS12 back-to-backs for landlords who wanted to hit current MEES standards without spending the budget on full external insulation — the foil takes the U-value down to a passable level without losing a centimetre of usable ceiling space. Across the river, the leafy suburbs of LS6 and LS8 give us more comfortable detached-house work, often paired with solar PV installations where the owner wants the whole roof upgrade done in one coordinated visit.

What we install

On a typical Leeds job, we survey the roof and recommend the specific SuperFOIL product that best matches the application. SF19+ is our workhorse between-rafters product for retrofit lofts — 11 layers in a slim flexible roll that fits between shallow Victorian rafters without losing headroom. SF40 is specified where a higher U-value is needed or where the roof element is the main line of thermal defence — 37 layers, 12 reflective foils, currently the top of the SuperFOIL range. SFNC is our non-combustible variant for flats, commercial buildings and any application where fire rating drives the specification. Each product carries the full manufacturer guarantee and our own 10-year workmanship warranty.

Areas and neighbourhoods we cover

Our Leeds crew regularly works across Headingley, Roundhay, Horsforth, Meanwood, Chapel Allerton, Garforth and Moortown, as well as the surrounding villages and towns inside the LS1, LS2, LS6, LS7, LS8, LS11, LS15, LS16, LS17 and the wider LS-postcode area postcode footprint. If you're outside these areas, please phone — we will almost always travel anywhere in West Yorkshire and the immediately surrounding counties for a decent-sized job.

Why a specialist matters

A general roofer can put a roll of foil between rafters in an hour. A properly-trained Superfoil contractor will take longer — because we measure and set the air gaps, tape every lap with approved foil tape, preserve the cold-side ventilation, protect the vapour control layer at every service penetration, and hand you compliance paperwork at the end. The difference doesn't show on day one, but it absolutely shows a couple of winters in — and it's the difference between a foil install that quietly performs for 50 years and one that causes condensation problems within 24 months.

Free surveys, written quotes, fixed prices

Every Leeds job starts with a free, no-obligation site survey. We look in the loft, check the roof externally, measure the rafter depth, discuss what you're trying to achieve, and follow up within 48 hours with a written, itemised quote fixed for 60 days. There is no pressure, no call centre, and no commission-hungry salesperson. If foil isn't the right answer for your specific property, we'll tell you.
