Lofts in Oldham
46% of homes in Oldham 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 28% 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.
21% 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 Oldham
How many homes in Oldham are houses?
84% of households live in a house or bungalow and 16% in a flat or maisonette, according to the 2021 Census.
Do you cover places near Oldham?
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.
What will it cost in Oldham?
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.
I rent in Oldham. 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.
