What is blown loft insulation?
The machine stays outside or on the landing and the hose runs up to the loft. Depth markers fixed to the joists or trusses show the installed depth, and the fibre settles into corners that rolls would bridge. More about blown loft insulation.

Dust sheets on the route in and every bit of packaging taken away.
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.
Tank and pipes protected
Every insulation job includes a tank jacket and pipe lagging, so nothing freezes in a colder loft.
Honest about grants
If you might qualify for funding, we tell you before we quote.
How much does blown loft insulation cost in Horwich?
Installing insulation in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027 and 5% after that, under HMRC's rules for energy-saving materials (notice 708/6).

Questions about blown loft insulation in Horwich
Do you take on jobs outside Horwich?
Yes. We also work in Westhoughton and Bolton and elsewhere in Greater Manchester.
Do you charge extra to travel to Horwich?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Horwich. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Can a landlord in Horwich book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
Is it messy?
The hose runs through the house, so we sheet the route and the landing. The fibre stays in the loft.
Is blown insulation better than rolls?
It performs about the same for the same depth. It is the faster and neater option in lofts that are awkward to work in, and rolls are better where you want boarding later.
