Planning the drop in Salford

Rolls are compressed and wrapped; they are light but take up space, so tell us if storage is tight. Salford is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

  • If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
  • In summer Salford gets around 17h 02m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
  • Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

Estimating your mineral wool insulation

A 9 × 7 m loft (63 m²) insulated from scratch to 270 mm needs about 8 rolls of 100 mm and 13 rolls of 170 mm, using typical roll coverage; coverage varies by brand. Try the insulation calculator

Things to check before you order

Glass or stone wool?

Glass wool rolls are light and economical for lofts. Stone wool slabs are denser and often chosen for acoustics and fire stopping.

How much for a loft?

The common recommendation is 270 mm in total: usually 100 mm between the joists and 170 mm across them. Check the depth already there.

In England, building work is checked against the Approved Documents, for example Part A for structure and Part L for energy efficiency, through your council's building control team or a registered building control approver.

Your questions answered

How many rolls do I need for my loft?

Divide the loft floor area by the coverage printed on the roll, for each layer. Coverage varies by brand and thickness; a 100 mm roll typically covers around 8 m² and a 170 mm roll around 5 m².

Do you deliver mineral wool insulation to trades and homeowners in Salford?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

Is mineral wool fireproof?

Most mineral wool is rated Euroclass A1 or A2, which means non-combustible or of very limited combustibility.

Can I add other materials to my Salford delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from mineral wool insulation to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.
