Loft insulation for Shaw homes
40% of the area’s homes are semi-detached. If you can see the joists in yours, there’s warmth to be kept.
With 35% of homes terraced, plenty of Shaw families have compact lofts above high-ceilinged bedrooms. A good layer of insulation keeps those rooms warm.
Homeowners often tell us about old, flattened insulation in the loft, warmth that fades soon after the heating goes off or boxes sitting on the insulation. The loft is usually the place to start.

Do you cover homes near Shaw?
I rent my home in Shaw. Can I get my loft insulated?
It’s your landlord’s decision, as they look after the building. Council and housing association tenants should ask their landlord. Landlords can ask us for a quote.
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.
