The loft jobs we see in Old Trafford
Semi-detached houses account for 31% 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.
27% of homes in Old Trafford 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.
39% of homes in Old Trafford 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.
26% 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 Old Trafford
How many homes in Old Trafford are houses?
61% of households live in a house or bungalow and 39% in a flat or maisonette, according to the 2021 Census.
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.
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.
Can I insulate the loft above my top-floor flat?
Usually only with the freeholder’s or managing agent’s agreement. Check your lease, then let us know when you get in touch.
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.
