What that means for your loft

Semis make up 35% of homes here. In many, the loft is used for storage and the insulation has been pushed aside or flattened over the years, so even an insulated loft can be worth a second look.

With 34% of homes terraced, many lofts in Ashton-under-Lyne are long and narrow, bounded by party walls on both sides. Insulation should run right up to each party wall, and we check that the wall between lofts is complete, as in some older terraces it isn’t.

21% of homes here are let privately. Landlords are responsible for the building, and a well-insulated loft is one of the more straightforward improvements to a rented home’s energy rating.

Loft insulation in Ashton-under-Lyne: questions

What kind of homes are there in Ashton-under-Lyne?

At the 2021 Census, 35% of households in Ashton-under-Lyne lived in semi-detached houses, 34% in terraced houses, 20% in flats and 10% in detached houses.

Will I lose my loft storage?

Not necessarily. Raised boarding sits on supports above the insulation, so the insulation keeps its full depth and you keep somewhere to store things.

I rent my home in Ashton-under-Lyne. Can I get loft insulation?

Talk to your landlord first, as changes to the building are their decision and normally their cost. Council and housing association tenants should contact their landlord’s repairs or maintenance team. Landlords can ask us for a quote just as homeowners do.

Do you cover the villages around Ashton-under-Lyne?

Yes. We take enquiries from anywhere in England and Wales, so villages and smaller places around Ashton-under-Lyne are covered too, as are nearby towns such as Dukinfield, Audenshaw, Stalybridge, Droylsden and Failsworth. See every town we list in Tameside.

Do I need to empty my loft first?

Usually the floor of the loft needs to be clear so the whole area can be insulated. We will tell you what we need when you book.

How long does the work take?

A typical loft is usually done within a day once booked. Removing old insulation first, fitting boarding or awkward access can add time; we will tell you when we quote.
