Loft insulation in Prescot’s homes
Semis make up 46% of homes here. In many, the loft is used for storage and the insulation has been pushed aside or flattened over the years, so even an insulated loft can be worth a second look.
Rows of terraced homes account for 25% of the housing in Prescot. 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.
How to get a quote
We take enquiries from across Prescot and the surrounding area, including Huyton with Roby, St Helens, Widnes, Liverpool and Kirkby.
We will usually want to know the type of house, roughly when it was built, and whether there is any insulation in the loft already. Photos of the loft can help if it’s easy to take them.

Loft insulation in Prescot: questions
What kind of homes are there in Prescot?
At the 2021 Census, 46% of households in Prescot lived in semi-detached houses, 25% in terraced houses, 16% in detached houses and 12% in flats.
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.
Can landlords in Prescot get quotes?
Yes. 15% of households in Prescot 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.
I live just outside Prescot. Can I still enquire?
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.
Can you give me a price for Prescot?
Yes, once we know about your loft. Size, existing insulation, access and any boarding or removal all affect it, and it’s confirmed in writing before you agree to anything.
