What it means for the lofts here
47% of homes in Burnley 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.
Semi-detached houses account for 30% 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.
25% 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.

Questions about loft insulation in Burnley
How many homes in Burnley are houses?
90% of households live in a house or bungalow and 10% in a flat or maisonette, according to the 2021 Census.
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.
I rent in Burnley. Can I have my loft insulated?
It’s your landlord’s decision, as they’re responsible for the building. Council and housing association tenants should contact their landlord’s repairs team. Landlords can ask us for a quote.
Do you cover places near Burnley?
Yes, we work across England and Wales, including Brierfield, Nelson, Padiham, Colne and Accrington. See all the towns we list in Lancashire.
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.
How deep should my loft insulation be?
Around 270 mm is the depth commonly recommended for mineral wool. We’ll suggest a depth for your loft in the quote.
