Questions about loft insulation in Longton
How many homes in Longton are houses?
95% of households live in a house or bungalow and 4% in a flat or maisonette, according to the 2021 Census.
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 Longton?
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.
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.
My loft was insulated years ago. Should I add more?
Very possibly. If it sits level with the top of the joists or below, a second layer across them is usually worthwhile.

Yes, we work across England and Wales, including Penwortham, Leyland, Bamber Bridge, Preston and Fulwood. See all the towns we list in Lancashire.
