A warmer home in Manchester
39% of homes in Manchester are flats. If yours is on the top floor, the loft above usually belongs to the freeholder, so check your lease first.
27% of homes in Manchester 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.
36% of households rent privately. If you rent, loft insulation is your landlord’s decision, and they can ask us for a quote.
It’s worth getting a quote if you’ve noticed ceilings upstairs that feel cold to the touch, a cold draught on the landing or boxes sitting on the insulation. The loft is usually the place to start.
