What goes wrong in Ashington lofts
Terraced houses are 49% of the housing. In small terrace lofts the eaves get stuffed with insulation, air stops moving and condensation follows. Clearing the eaves usually fixes it.
With 19% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Ashington have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.
22% of households rent privately. Condensation from drying clothes indoors often ends up in the loft; landlords can book a check.
Before you book, have a look for boxes sitting straight on the insulation, water marks on the ceiling under the loft or cables buried out of sight under insulation. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Ashington: questions
What type of home is most common in Ashington?
Terraced houses, at 49% of households in the 2021 Census, then semi-detached houses at 19%.
There are boards nailed straight onto my joists. Is that bad?
It usually means the insulation underneath is squashed. We lift the boards, fix the insulation and put storage back on a raised floor.
I live just outside Ashington. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Bedlington, Blyth, Morpeth, Cramlington and Killingworth are covered too. Every town we list in Northumberland.
How do I know if my insulation needs replacing?
It’s thin, grey, damp, stained or has droppings in it, or there’s a musty smell.
Will my house get dusty?
We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.
Do you work for landlords in Ashington?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
