Common loft jobs in Salford
54% of households here live in flats. A flat usually only has a loft above it on the top floor, and work in a shared roof space needs the agreement of whoever manages the building, so mention this when you enquire.
Terraced houses make up 23% 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.
With 41% of households in private rented homes, tenants in Salford should talk to their landlord about insulation. Most improvements to the building are the landlord’s to arrange.
How to get a quote
We work in Salford and neighbouring areas like Old Trafford, Clifton, Prestwich, Swinton and Stretford.
It helps to know whether your loft has insulation already and how deep it is, whether it’s boarded, and how easy the hatch is to get through. You don’t need to check before you enquire; we will ask.

Loft insulation in Salford: questions
How common are flats in Salford?
Very: 54% of households lived in flats at the 2021 Census, the largest group, ahead of terraced houses at 23%.
Do you cover the villages around Salford?
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 Salford get quotes?
Yes. 41% of households in Salford 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.
How much does loft insulation cost in Salford?
It depends on the size of the loft, how much insulation is there now, whether old material needs removing and how easy the loft is to work in. We give you a written quotation after finding out about your home.
I live in a top-floor flat. Can I insulate the loft above me?
Usually only with the agreement of whoever owns or manages the roof space, often the freeholder or a management company. Check that first, then mention it when you enquire.
