Frequently Asked Questions - Manchester Loft Insulation
Manchester homeowners typically save £200-£300 annually on heating bills with proper loft insulation. The exact savings depend on your current insulation, property size, heating system, and usage patterns. Homes with no existing insulation can see savings of up to 25% on total energy bills.
Most Manchester loft insulation installations are completed in 1-2 days. Standard terraced houses typically take 4-6 hours, while larger properties may require a full day. If old insulation removal is needed, add an additional half-day to the timeline.

However, if your property is in a conservation area or is a listed building, you may need conservation area consent or listed building consent. We can advise on any permissions required for your specific Manchester property.
Yes, but with some considerations. We can install boarding over the insulation to create storage areas. However, this requires raising the floor level to accommodate the full insulation depth. We'll design the installation to maintain both energy efficiency and practical storage space for your Manchester home.
