Loft insulation for Wigan homes
46% of the area’s homes are semi-detached. If you can see the joists in yours, there’s warmth to be kept.
27% of homes in Wigan 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.
In a Wigan home that needs more loft insulation, you might notice a loft nobody has looked in for years, pipes in the loft that need protecting or an icy hatch above the stairs. The loft is usually the place to start.

Questions from homeowners in Wigan
Do most people in Wigan live in houses?
87% of households live in a house or bungalow and 12% in a flat (2021 Census).
I rent my home in Wigan. 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.
Do you cover homes near Wigan?
Yes, across England and Wales, including Ince-in-Makerfield, Orrell, Standish, Platt Bridge and Abram and Hindley. See all our towns in Wigan.
How long will it take?
Most lofts are done in a day.
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.
How deep should loft insulation be?
Around 270 mm is commonly recommended for mineral wool.
