Loft insulation in Atherton’s homes

45% of households in Atherton live in a semi-detached house. A typical semi has a loft big enough for storage, a hatch on the landing and one party wall to insulate up to; we check all three.

About a quarter of homes in Atherton are terraced (29%). Small lofts mean smaller jobs, but storage often ends up on the insulation in a tight space, so many terrace jobs combine a top-up with a small area of raised boarding.

Loft insulation in Atherton: questions

What kind of homes are there in Atherton?

At the 2021 Census, 45% of households in Atherton lived in semi-detached houses, 29% in terraced houses, 14% in detached houses and 13% in flats.

What if there’s damp or mould in my loft?

Mention it when you enquire. Damp or mouldy insulation normally needs removing, and the cause (a leak or poor ventilation, for example) dealing with, before new insulation goes in.

My loft is boarded. Can it still be insulated?

Often, yes. Boards screwed straight onto the joists usually squash the insulation below. A common fix is to lift them, bring the insulation up to depth and fit raised boarding so you keep the storage space.

Do you cover the villages around Atherton?

Yes. We take enquiries from anywhere in England and Wales, so villages and smaller places around Atherton are covered too, as are nearby towns such as Tyldesley, Westhoughton, Leigh, Little Hulton and Hindley. See every town we list in Wigan.

Will I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the loft hatch. We agree the details with you when you book.

Can landlords in Atherton get quotes?

Yes. 16% of households in Atherton rent privately, and landlords can request a quote in the same way as owner-occupiers. Tenants should raise insulation with their landlord rather than arranging work themselves.
