Questions about loft insulation in Bacup
How many homes in Bacup are houses?
91% of households live in a house or bungalow and 9% in a flat or maisonette, according to the 2021 Census.
Where will the insulation go?
On the loft floor, between the joists and in a layer across them, with the eaves left clear for air.
Do you cover places near Bacup?
Yes, we work across England and Wales, including Rawtenstall, Todmorden, Haslingden, Littleborough and Rochdale. See all the towns we list in Lancashire.
My loft is boarded straight onto the joists. Is that a problem?
It usually means the insulation underneath is squashed. We can lift the boards, insulate properly and refit them on a raised floor.
What will it cost in Bacup?
It depends on the size of the loft, what’s there now, the material and how easy the loft is to work in. We quote in writing, for free.
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.
