Independent insulation comparison across North West England. Manchester, Liverpool, Bolton, Blackpool, Preston and surrounding areas. Check ECO4 eligibility free and get matched with one local installer.
North West England has a particularly high concentration of older terraced housing, especially in the Greater Manchester and Merseyside conurbations. Many streets in areas like Salford, Oldham, Rochdale and inner Liverpool were built in the Victorian and Edwardian eras, often with solid brick construction and limited or no cavity wall insulation.
The region also has substantial interwar semi-detached estates across suburban Manchester, Bolton and Blackpool, alongside post-war development and significant social housing stock. Lancashire’s rural towns have a proportion of older stone-built properties. Many North West properties are EPC-rated D, E or below — meaning they are most likely to qualify for ECO4 funding.

Yes. ECO4 is available across the North West including Greater Manchester and Merseyside. Eligibility depends on household income, benefit receipt and property EPC rating (D or below). Many older terraced and semi-detached properties in the region qualify.
The North West’s colder and wetter climate, combined with high proportions of older solid-brick terraced housing, means many properties lose heat at rates above the national average. Loft insulation and wall insulation can make a significant difference.
Loft insulation in Manchester typically costs £300–£500 for a standard installation in a terraced or semi-detached home. ECO4 may cover the full cost for eligible households. A free assessment will confirm eligibility and the best approach for your specific property.
