Loft insulation in Stretford’s homes
48% of households in Stretford 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.
About a quarter of homes in Stretford are terraced (25%). Small lofts mean smaller jobs, but storage often ends up on the insulation in a tight space, so many terrace jobs combine a top-up with a small area of raised boarding.

Loft insulation in Stretford: questions
What kind of homes are there in Stretford?
At the 2021 Census, 48% of households in Stretford lived in semi-detached houses, 25% in terraced houses, 22% in flats and 5% in detached houses.
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.
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.
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 Stretford get quotes?
Yes. 16% of households in Stretford 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.
