Top 4 Expert Installers of Loft Insulation in Manchester with Grants to Boot!
The loft is a seldom-discussed area in the home, unless we’re talking about converting it into storage or a lovely den for leisure activity. It’s more important than ever to give the loft the same attention as, say, air conditioning maintenance.
Turns out there’s a world of difference in temperature and the leccy when there’s a decent amount of padding between its floorboards or roof joinery.
So, we’re here to help you take the first step towards a warmer and more energy-efficient home with our list of top loft insulation installers in Manchester (and since we understand the need for economy, they offer grants, too). Let’s get cracking!

Looking for a company that does loft insulation AND covers grants (not just in Manchester but also in many parts of the UK) can be quite a challenge.
We’re glad to have chanced upon Cooney Installations early in our research.
This company boasts over 25 years’ experience, and it shows. Its range of services is not too short, but it isn’t too much that it’s spread too thin to produce great work.
Thus, giving Cooney Installations a call gave us and lots of previous clients a positive experience: prompt and streamlined service.
From the assessment of suitability, making sure the costs are eligible under applicable grants (like ECO4), as well as the installation of insulation itself, the staff get things properly sorted.
What we appreciate the most is their honesty. They don’t do the hard sell and don’t hesitate to consider projects unfeasible—minimising the risk of shoddy work.
Excellent work for the price
“Excellent service. Had our loft insulated and was very happy with the price and the work carried out. Would definitely recommend”
Nick Osborne, Google Review
Minimum fuss; highly recommended
“I contact Cooney Insulations to bring my current loft insulation up to standard using the government’s green home grant. I have to say that they were excellent to deal with throughout, helping me with queries on the grant itself all the way through the installation and final invoice process. The installation itself arranged quickly once the voucher was issued by HMRC at a time that suited me. The Cooney staff arrived on time, taking care to put down dust sheets for the route to the loft. The work was completed with minimum of fuss and they left my home clean and tidy. Highly recommend.”

Although a relatively new operation, RZ Eco Energy is gradually making itself known in the green energy industry. We’re particularly impressed by it being TrustMark-registered, albeit being less than 5 years in the business.
Most of its services are related to insulation—every part of the house seems to be covered, including the loft. RZ Eco Energy handles every step of the process from assessment, installation, and aftercare with ease.
What we appreciate the most about this service provider (though it might be a double-edged sword) is its honesty and groundedness: it doesn’t promise a definite lead time.
For us, this straightforwardness on the effects of red tape (especially for services under grants) is better than getting disappointed with missed set deadlines.
That said, your mileage may vary in relation to RZ Eco Energy’s speed in starting projects. However, once the paperwork’s settled, the company can and will do its best to give prompt and quality service to clients.
Thorough installation under ECO4 grant
“RZ Eco Energy team has been very prompt and helpful with the whole process from start to end of installation of boiler and loft insulation under the Eco4 grant. They have been very thorough especially Ahmed, and the work was completed to high standards. Thank you guys.”

Green Orb started in the middle of the pandemic and is composed of fairly young (millennial) team members. This youth, however, didn’t stop it from already registering itself with TrustMark—a stellar move on top of its already mint service.
This company offers the basics: insulation, solar power, and heating, all with the added commitment to going the extra mile if the HVAC job warrants it. We’re glad to see that it’s backed by solid reviews from past clients.
Besides that, we are impressed by the fact that Green Orb provides free surveys, meaning you’ll only need to pay once the actual installation happens. Moreover, the team is available every day of the week, so less worries about scheduling issues.
We would’ve liked it better if Green Orb’s online presence were much more polished. The bare bones website really makes us feel iffy and takes away some points from the reputation side, even though they’re actually great!
Attentive service
“Great customer service provided. Very attentive to details. Could not be more greatful. Would recommend”
Amarsham Estates, Google Review
Incredible service and effective insulation
“I had an incredible experience with Green Orb Eco Solutions for my external wall insulation. Their team’s professionalism and commitment to eco-friendly practices stood out. From the start, their customer service was prompt and informative. They stuck to the programme with scaffold and install.
Following the install, my energy bills have reduced significantly and the level of comfort within the house has also increased. I wholeheartedly recommend them.”

If you’re looking for the most established loft insulation installer in town, then Concept Heating might be the one you need. It’s been around for over 25 years now, and is a favourite of social housing providers in the northwest.
We initially thought that maybe it’s the company’s number of years in the business that’s making it a top choice for the job.
However, talking with some of its previous clients made things clear—the reliable service and fantastic communication skills of its staff are its aces. The Concept Heating staff doesn’t miss a beat in informing clients of details every step of the way.
This is music to our ears, as we understand how nerve-wracking it might be to handle multiple structures in one go (under the umbrella of a housing district) compared to individual ones in a less hectic schedule.
Excellent work and communication
“Very professional guys. Excellent quality of work and good communication. Recommended.”
Rumel Mahmood, Google Review

Would definitely recommend going forwards! 👍”
