What that means for your loft

With 34% of homes semi-detached, a common job in Lees 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 39% of the housing in Lees. 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.

Loft insulation in Lees: questions

Are most homes in Lees houses or flats?

Houses: 91% of households live in a detached, semi-detached or terraced house or bungalow, and 9% in a flat or maisonette (Census 2021). The most common single type is terraced houses, at 39%.

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.

Do you cover the villages around Lees?

Yes. We take enquiries from anywhere in England and Wales, so villages and smaller places around Lees are covered too, as are nearby towns such as Oldham, Mossley, Uppermill, Shaw and Royton. See every town we list in Oldham.

Can landlords in Lees get quotes?

Yes. 16% of households in Lees 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.

How do I know if my loft needs more insulation?

If the insulation is level with or below the top of the joists, it’s likely well short of the 270mm commonly recommended for mineral wool. We will check when we look.
