Loft services in Blackpool
What it means for the lofts here
Semi-detached houses account for 36% of homes. In many, an older thin layer just needs bringing up to depth with a second layer across the joists, in mineral wool or a natural alternative.
28% of homes in Blackpool are terraced. Terrace lofts are usually compact, with brick party walls either side; the insulation should meet each wall without gaps, and we check the walls themselves are complete.
25% of homes in Blackpool are flats. Only the top floor sits under a roof space, which usually belongs to the freeholder, so it’s worth checking your lease before planning any work.
31% of households rent privately. If you’re renting, insulation is something to raise with your landlord, who looks after the building; landlords can ask us for a quote in the usual way.

Around 270 mm is the depth commonly recommended for mineral wool. We’ll suggest a depth for your loft in the quote.
How long does the work take?
Most lofts are done in a day. Taking out old insulation or adding boarding can add time; the quote will say.
Do you cover places near Blackpool?
Yes, we work across England and Wales, including Lytham St Anne's, Poulton-le-Fylde, Thornton, Cleveleys and Fleetwood.
I rent in Blackpool. Can I have my loft insulated?
It’s your landlord’s decision, as they’re responsible for the building. Landlords can ask us for a quote.
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.
