Loft services in Shaw
What Shaw lofts usually need
40% of Shaw’s housing is semi-detached. In older semis the hatch is often small; we can enlarge it for a ladder.
With 35% of homes terraced, compact lofts are common in Shaw. Keep the eaves clear and the job is usually done in a morning.
Measuring up means looking at how much is stored up there now, the depth of the insulation in a few places and whether the old insulation is dry and clean. Then every part goes in the quote with its own price.

Loft insulation in Shaw: common questions
Are most homes in Shaw houses or flats?
Houses or bungalows: 89%. Flats or maisonettes: 12% (Census 2021).
Where does the insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and across the joists, with the eaves left clear.
My loft boards are nailed to the joists. Is that a problem?
Usually the insulation underneath is squashed thin. We can lift the boards, insulate and put them back on legs.
