Why Top-Ups Aren't Enough for Many Heywood Homes

Older Heywood properties often have inadequate insulation installed decades ago that no longer meets modern standards. Is your insulation older than your kids? Here is why that's a problem:

🕐

Age Over 15+ Years

Insulation installed before 2008 is likely below current standards and significantly less effective than modern materials.

💧

Water Damage

Wet or damp insulation loses thermal properties and can harbor mold. Complete replacement prevents ongoing problems.

🐭

Rodent Contamination

Pests can severely contaminate your loft space. We specialize in removing rodent-damaged insulation to restore a safe and hygienic environment.

📏

Insufficient Depth

Many Heywood properties have only 100-150mm insulation. Upgrading to 270mm doubles thermal performance.

❄️

Cold Spots & Drafts

Uneven temperatures and cold areas indicate compressed or settling insulation that needs complete replacement.

💰

Rising Energy Bills

If heating costs keep increasing, failed insulation is likely to blame. Replacement can cut bills by £455+ annually.

Common Loft Insulation Problems in Heywood

Many homeowners in Heywood contact us because they notice clear warning signs in their loft. If you recognise any of these, it's usually time for full loft insulation replacement – not just a top‑up.

👃

Musty or Damp Smells

A persistent musty odour from your loft in Heywood often means moisture‑damaged insulation, hidden leaks, or mould growth. Old insulation can hold moisture for months and never fully dry out.

🐭

Signs of Rodents

Mice and rats love to nest in lofts. Droppings, scratching noises, and chewed cabling are clear signs of rodent-damaged insulation that needs safe removal and replacement.

🌫️

Dusty, Dirty Insulation

If walking in your loft kicks up clouds of dust, or the insulation looks grey and compacted, it has usually lost most of its thermal performance and should be replaced.

💸

Cold Rooms & High Bills

Bedrooms directly below your loft in Heywood should be the warmest rooms in the house. If they are the coldest, your insulation is probably failing and costing you money every month.
