What that means for your loft
With 45% of homes semi-detached, a common job in Farnworth is bringing an existing layer up to depth and adding raised storage boards so the insulation isn’t squashed.
Rows of terraced homes account for 32% of the housing in Farnworth. In a terrace, heat can be lost through a thin or patchy layer just as easily as through an empty loft, so we look at how even the existing insulation is as well as how deep.
How to get a quote
We take enquiries from across Farnworth and the surrounding area, including Kearsley, Little Hulton, Little Lever, Walkden and Bolton.
We will usually want to know the type of house, roughly when it was built, and whether there is any insulation in the loft already. Photos of the loft can help if it’s easy to take them.

Loft insulation in Farnworth: questions
What kind of homes are there in Farnworth?

I live just outside Farnworth. Can I still enquire?
Of course. Coverage isn’t limited to the town: enquiries come from right across England and Wales, including Kearsley, Little Hulton, Little Lever, Walkden and Bolton. See every town we list in Bolton.
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.
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.
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.
