The loft jobs we see in Colne
More than half of homes here are terraced (60%). In a smaller loft, storage tends to end up sitting on the insulation, so a modest raised floor is often worth adding.
With 19% 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 Colne (22% 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 Colne
What are most homes in Colne like?
The most common are terraced houses (60% of households at the 2021 Census), followed by semi-detached houses at 19%.
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.
I’m in a village outside Colne. Can I still ask?
Of course. Villages and nearby towns such as Nelson, Brierfield, Barnoldswick, Burnley and Padiham are all covered. See all the towns we list in Lancashire.
Is natural insulation more expensive?
Usually, yes. Sheep’s wool and recycled polyester cost more than mineral wool; we can quote for both.
Can I keep my loft storage?
Yes. A floor raised on legs above the insulation keeps the storage without squashing the insulation.
