What is loft insulation?

We lay the first layer to the depth of the joists, usually 100 mm, so it fills each bay edge to edge with no gaps. The finished depth sits at 270 mm or more, the depth the Energy Saving Trust recommends. More about loft insulation.

Eaves kept clear, with ventilation trays where air could be blocked
Cables lifted clear of the insulation where possible
Area under the cold water tank left clear so it cannot freeze

No pressure selling

Tank and pipes protected

Every insulation job includes a tank jacket and pipe lagging, so nothing freezes in a colder loft.

Questions about loft insulation in Rochdale

What do I need to do before you arrive in Rochdale?

Clear a path to the hatch and, if you can, move stored items away from the area we will be working in. Tell us about anything heavy or fragile.

Do you take on jobs outside Rochdale?

Yes. We also work in Heywood and Middleton and elsewhere in Greater Manchester.

Is loft work in Rochdale different from anywhere else?

The method is the same, but older terraces, cottages and newer estates each have their own quirks: lath ceilings, low pitches or trussed roofs. We plan for the loft we find.

Do I need to empty my loft first?

The floor needs to be clear for the insulation to go down. If moving things yourself is difficult, tell us at the survey and we can price clearing and putting items back on raised boarding.

How long does it take to insulate a loft?

Most lofts in houses take a single day. A large bungalow loft, a loft that needs clearing first or one with awkward access can run into a second day.
