Loft insulation for Accrington homes
56% of homes in Accrington are terraced. Terraced houses share walls with their neighbours, which helps, but the roof is still where most warmth can slip away, so the loft is the place to start.
With 23% of households in semis, a lot of Accrington lofts double as storage. A raised floor keeps your things and your warmth.
Renting is common in Accrington (26% privately). A warmer loft makes a rented home more comfortable, and landlords can book with us.
Signs your loft could do more include a cold draught on the landing, pipes in the loft that need protecting or the heating running for longer than you’d like. It costs nothing to find out.

Questions from homeowners in Accrington
Do most people in Accrington live in houses?
89% of households live in a house or bungalow and 10% in a flat (2021 Census).
How deep should loft insulation be?
Around 270 mm is commonly recommended for mineral wool.
My loft is boarded. Is the insulation underneath enough?
Often not, because boards on the joists squash it. We can lift them, insulate and put them back on legs.
Do you cover homes near Accrington?
Yes, across England and Wales, including Oswaldtwistle, Great Harwood, Padiham, Haslingden and Rawtenstall. See all our towns in Lancashire.
How long will it take?
Most lofts are done in a day.
Is sheep’s wool good for an older terrace?
It can be, as it copes well with moisture. Mineral wool works too and costs less; we can quote for both.
