Lofts in Accrington
More than half of homes here are terraced (56%). In a smaller loft, storage tends to end up sitting on the insulation, so a modest raised floor is often worth adding.
With 23% of households in semis, a common job here is topping up insulation that was laid years ago and adding storage that doesn’t squash it.
Private renting is common in Accrington (26% of households). Landlords are responsible for the building, and a warm, well-ventilated loft is one of the simpler improvements to a rented home.

Questions about loft insulation in Accrington
What are most homes in Accrington like?
The most common are terraced houses (56% of households at the 2021 Census), followed by semi-detached houses at 23%.
Does sheep’s wool insulate as well as mineral wool?
About as well, depth for depth. People choose it because it’s pleasant to handle and copes well with damp.
Is sheep’s wool a good idea in an older terrace?
It can be: it copes well with moisture, which suits older homes. Mineral wool also works in a well-ventilated loft, and costs less.
Can I keep my loft storage?
Yes. A floor raised on legs above the insulation keeps the storage without squashing the insulation.
I’m in a village outside Accrington. Can I still ask?
Of course. Villages and nearby towns such as Oswaldtwistle, Great Harwood, Padiham, Haslingden and Rawtenstall are all covered. See all the towns we list in Lancashire.
How can I tell if mine is too thin?
