What kind of homes are there in Longton?
Mostly semi-detached homes (48% of households in 2021), then detached homes (41%).
Is the quote free?
Yes, and there’s no obligation.
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.
Why insulate the loft first?
Heat rises, so the loft is where a lot of warmth can escape. It’s usually the simplest place to start.
My home is just outside Longton. Can you help?
Of course. We cover Penwortham, Leyland, Bamber Bridge, Preston and Fulwood and the villages around them. See all our towns in Lancashire.
Can I keep using my loft for storage?
