By type, 59% of households live in terraced, 23% in semi-detached, 10% in flats or maisonettes and 7% in detached houses or bungalows.

What that means for your loft
Terraced houses make up 59% of homes here. Their lofts tend to be smaller and are often reached through a narrow hatch on the landing, so access is one of the first things we look at. The insulation needs to meet the party walls on each side with no gaps.
23% of households in Padiham live in a semi-detached house. A typical semi has a loft big enough for storage, a hatch on the landing and one party wall to insulate up to; we check all three.
27% 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.

Loft insulation in Padiham: questions
Are most homes in Padiham houses or flats?
Houses: 89% of households live in a detached, semi-detached or terraced house or bungalow, and 10% in a flat or maisonette (Census 2021). The most common single type is terraced houses, at 59%.
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.
Does a terraced house need anything different?
The main things are getting insulation right up to the party walls, checking those walls are complete between lofts, and working through what is often a small hatch. Lofts are usually compact, so less material is needed.
Do I need to empty my loft first?
Usually the floor of the loft needs to be clear so the whole area can be insulated. We will tell you what we need when you book.

I rent my home in Padiham. 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.
