Expert Insulation Tips from Manchester's Specialists

1

Check Your Current Insulation Depth

Most homes built before 2003 have inadequate insulation. Check your loft - if you can see the tops of your joists, you need more insulation. Current standards require 270mm depth for optimal performance.

2

Don't Compress Existing Insulation

When adding new insulation, lay it perpendicular to existing insulation to avoid compression. Compressed insulation loses up to 50% of its thermal efficiency.

3

Seal Air Leaks First

Before installing insulation, seal gaps around pipes, cables, and loft hatches. Even small air leaks can reduce insulation effectiveness by up to 30%.

4

Maintain Ventilation

Proper loft ventilation prevents condensation and maintains insulation performance. Never block eaves ventilation when installing insulation.

Types of Loft Insulation for Manchester Homes

Different Manchester properties need different loft insulation solutions. We recommend the right material based on your roof structure, access, and whether you plan to use the loft for storage or conversion.

Glass Wool (Fibreglass) Rolls

The most common choice for Manchester lofts. Cost‑effective, quick to install and ideal for reaching the 270mm building regulation standard between and over joists.

  • • Perfect for most houses and bungalows
  • • Strong thermal performance for low cost
  • • Ideal for straightforward top‑up installations

Mineral Wool / Rockwool

Dense insulation with excellent fire resistance and acoustic performance. Ideal for busy roads, near rail lines or under flight paths across Greater Manchester.

  • • Superior sound reduction
  • • Added fire protection in roof spaces
  • • Great for terraces and semis

Rigid Board Insulation

Used on sloping rafters and loft conversions where you need both insulation and usable headroom. Common in dormer conversions and future loft conversion plans.

  • • High insulation value in a thin layer
  • • Perfect when headroom is limited
  • • Ideal for loft rooms and conversions

Eco‑Friendly & Recycled Options

For environmentally conscious homeowners, we can specify insulation with high recycled content and low embodied carbon to support Manchester’s net‑zero ambitions.

  • • Lower environmental impact
  • • Pairs well with solar and other upgrades
  • • Supports sustainable home improvements
