What that means for your loft

Many semis have lofts that have been part-boarded over the years, often straight onto the joists. Where that has flattened the insulation underneath, raised boarding lets you keep the storage and restore the insulation; 52% of homes in Ince-in-Makerfield are semi-detached.

With 29% of homes terraced, many lofts in Ince-in-Makerfield 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.

Loft insulation in Ince-in-Makerfield: questions

How common are semi-detached houses in Ince-in-Makerfield?

Very: 52% of households lived in semi-detached houses at the 2021 Census, the largest group, ahead of terraced houses at 29%.

I rent my home in Ince-in-Makerfield. 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.

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.

How deep should loft insulation be?

For mineral wool, 270mm is the depth commonly recommended in UK lofts. Other materials reach a similar level at different thicknesses.

Do you cover the villages around Ince-in-Makerfield?

Yes. We take enquiries from anywhere in England and Wales, so villages and smaller places around Ince-in-Makerfield are covered too, as are nearby towns such as Platt Bridge and Abram, Hindley, Wigan, Ashton-in-Makerfield and Westhoughton. See every town we list in Wigan.

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.
