Understanding the root causes of cold homes across Greater Manchester
Up to 45% of your home's heat escapes through an uninsulated or poorly insulated loft. This is the #1 cause of cold houses in Manchester.
Manchester's windy weather exploits every gap in your home's thermal envelope, creating cold drafts and heat loss.
Many Manchester properties have original insulation from the 1980s or earlier - now compressed, contaminated, or insufficient.
Manchester's wet climate can cause damp issues that reduce insulation effectiveness and create cold, uncomfortable conditions.
Your heating system might be working overtime to compensate for poor insulation, leading to breakdowns and inefficiency.
Manchester's Victorian and Edwardian housing stock presents unique thermal challenges requiring specialized solutions.
Answer these questions to identify the main cause of your cold house
Based on your answers, your cold house is primarily caused by heat loss through the loft. This is the most common and easily fixable cause of cold homes in Manchester.
