What we do for homes in Orrell
44% of homes in Orrell are semi-detached. Semis have one shared wall and a roomy loft, so getting the insulation right makes a real difference to the bedrooms.
About one in five of homes here are terraced (22%). Older terraces often suit natural materials like sheep’s wool, which cope well with moisture.
With 40% of homes owned outright, plenty of Orrell lofts still have their original insulation. A top-up can make a lovely difference.
Signs your loft could do more include a cold draught on the landing, an icy hatch above the stairs or warmth that fades soon after the heating goes off. We can help with every one of them.

Questions from homeowners in Orrell
What kind of homes are there in Orrell?
Mostly semi-detached homes (44% of households in 2021), then detached homes (25%).
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 loft was insulated years ago. Should I add more?
If it’s level with the joists or below, a top-up is usually worthwhile.
Will it be messy?
We protect your landing, keep the dust in the loft and take the waste away.
My home is just outside Orrell. Can you help?
Of course. We cover Wigan, Skelmersdale, Ashton-in-Makerfield, Ince-in-Makerfield and Standish and the villages around them. See all our towns in Wigan.
Can I keep using my loft for storage?
Yes. A raised floor above the insulation keeps your storage and your warmth.
