Home energy upgrades in Newcastle
Newcastle has a housing type found almost nowhere else: the Tyneside flat, a pair of one-storey homes in one terraced house, with separate front doors.
Homes you will find in Newcastle
Tyneside flats are common in Heaton, Gosforth and Jesmond. Roofs, walls and external doors are often shared or split between two owners, which affects who can do what.
Alongside them are Victorian brick terraces, stone-built villas, and interwar and post-war estates further out, many with cavity walls.
Postcode area: NE. This is general guidance, not a survey of any particular street.
Upgrades that often come up here
- Loft insulation: Check who controls the roof space in a Tyneside flat before planning anything.
- Double or triple glazing: Older windows in Victorian terraces are common candidates.
- Cavity wall insulation: Helpful to check on the later semis and estates on the edges of the city.
IndicativeFigures on this page are indicative ranges for a typical UK home. They are not a quote, a survey or an EPC. Your home will differ.
Worth knowing locally
In a Tyneside flat the upstairs and downstairs owners may each own part of the roof and walls, so agree work with your neighbour. North-east winters and coastal wind make draught-proofing worthwhile.
