Common loft jobs in Old Trafford

With 31% of homes semi-detached, a common job in Old Trafford is bringing an existing layer up to depth and adding raised storage boards so the insulation isn’t squashed.

27% of households in Old Trafford 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.

Only top-floor flats sit under a loft, and in most blocks the roof space belongs to the freeholder or is managed by a management company or housing association. If you live in one of the 39% of Old Trafford homes that are flats, check who is responsible for the roof space before arranging work.

26% of homes here are let privately. Landlords are responsible for the building, and a well-insulated loft is one of the more straightforward improvements to a rented home’s energy rating.
