Loft insulation in Horwich: questions

What kind of homes are there in Horwich?

At the 2021 Census, 35% of households in Horwich lived in terraced houses, 30% in semi-detached houses, 21% in detached houses and 14% in flats.

Who will carry out the work?

We will. We look at the loft, quote in writing and, if you go ahead, carry out the work on a date that suits you.

Can landlords in Horwich get quotes?

Yes. 17% of households in Horwich 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.

Why can’t I see prices on the website?

Because every loft is different. The area, what’s up there already, access and any extra work change the price, so we quote once we know about your home.
