Keeping Formby homes warm
45% of the area’s homes are semi-detached. If you can see the joists in yours, there’s warmth to be kept.
Fewer than one in ten of homes here are terraced (3%). Older terraces often suit natural materials like sheep’s wool, which cope well with moisture.
Many households here (55%) own outright. If your loft was done a long time ago, it’s worth a look.
Signs your loft could do more include old, flattened insulation in the loft, a top floor that feels colder than downstairs or bedrooms that never quite warm up. None of them need a big job to fix.

My loft was insulated years ago. Should I add more?
If it’s level with the joists or below, a top-up is usually worthwhile.
My home is just outside Formby. Can you help?
Will it be messy?
We protect your landing, keep the dust in the loft and take the waste away.
Can I choose a natural material?
