Census 2021 recorded close to 26,300 households in Macclesfield. The split is 32% terraces, 28% semis, 24% detached houses and bungalows, 17% flats and maisonettes. 67% of homes are owner-occupied, 35% of them mortgage-free; 17% are let privately and 16% by social landlords. 58% have three or more bedrooms.

What Macclesfield lofts usually need

With 28% of households in semis, we often find boards nailed straight to the joists with thin, squashed insulation underneath.

32% of homes in Macclesfield are terraced. Terrace lofts are small, so full-depth insulation is quick; a strip of raised boarding by the hatch is often all the storage there’s room for.

When we come out in Macclesfield we check the size of the hatch and where a ladder would land, the depth of the insulation in a few places and how the cables run. Then every part goes in the quote with its own price.
