The loft jobs we do in Orrell
44% of homes in Orrell are semis. Many have tall lofts with good headroom, just right for a raised storage floor over full-depth insulation.
About one in five of homes here are terraces (22%). Older ones may have roofs without felt, which makes airflow at the eaves important.
With 40% owning outright, plenty of Orrell lofts still have their original thin layer. If you can see joists, it needs more.
When we come out in Orrell we check whether the old insulation is dry and clean, how deep and how far apart the joists are and the headroom where a storage floor could go. That’s what decides the depth, the boarded area and the ladder.

Loft insulation in Orrell: common questions
What are most homes in Orrell?
Semi-detached houses (44% of households, Census 2021), then detached houses (25%).
Can I have storage and full-depth insulation?
Yes: a raised floor on legs sits above the insulation so it isn’t squashed.
Do I need to empty the loft?
The floor needs to be clear. We can clear it for you.
How do I measure mine?
Push a ruler down through it to the ceiling in a few places, standing on a joist.
I’m a few miles from Orrell. Can you come out?
Yes. Wigan, Skelmersdale, Ashton-in-Makerfield, Ince-in-Makerfield and Standish and the villages around are covered. See every town in Wigan.
My loft was done years ago. Is it enough?
Measure it. If it’s level with the joists or less, a top-up across them is worth it.
