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; 28% of homes in Macclesfield are semi-detached.
32% of households in Macclesfield live in a terraced house. Terrace lofts are usually compact, which keeps the amount of material down, but the work is in getting good coverage up to the party walls and into the eaves without blocking ventilation.

Loft insulation in Macclesfield: questions
What kind of homes are there in Macclesfield?
At the 2021 Census, 32% of households in Macclesfield lived in terraced houses, 28% in semi-detached houses, 24% in detached houses and 17% in flats.
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.
Which areas near Macclesfield do you cover?
All of England and Wales. Close to Macclesfield, that includes Wilmslow, Poynton, Bramhall, Congleton and Hazel Grove. See every town we list in Cheshire East.
Can landlords in Macclesfield get quotes?
Yes. 17% of households in Macclesfield 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.
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.
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.
