Questions about loft insulation in Preston
How many homes in Preston are houses?
76% of households live in a house or bungalow and 23% 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.
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.
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.
Do you cover places near Preston?
Yes, we work across England and Wales, including Fulwood, Penwortham, Bamber Bridge, Longton and Leyland. See all the towns we list in Lancashire.
What will it cost in Preston?
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.
