What that means for your loft
Semi-detached homes (48% here) share one party wall and often have a reasonable amount of loft space. That makes them good candidates for raised boarding over the insulation if you want to keep using the loft for storage.
With 34% of homes terraced, many lofts in Failsworth 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.
With 20% of households in private rented homes, tenants in Failsworth should talk to their landlord about insulation. Most improvements to the building are the landlord’s to arrange.

How much does loft insulation cost in Failsworth?
It depends on the size of the loft, how much insulation is there now, whether old material needs removing and how easy the loft is to work in. We give you a written quotation after finding out about your home.
Can landlords in Failsworth get quotes?
Yes. 20% of households in Failsworth 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.
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.
