Common loft faults here
36% of the housing in Beeston is semi-detached. When we open those hatches we often find cables buried under old insulation and eaves packed tight.
16% of homes in Beeston are terraces. Older terrace lofts often have no roof felt, gaps through the party walls and insulation pushed into the eaves, which is a recipe for damp timber.
In Beeston, 21% of homes are privately rented. Tenants spotting damp on top-floor ceilings should tell the landlord, who can arrange a check.
Worth checking in a Beeston loft: cables buried out of sight under insulation, insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists or boxes sitting straight on the insulation. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Beeston: questions
What share of homes in Beeston are houses?
84% are houses or bungalows; 16% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
Can’t you just put new insulation on top?
Not over damp, soiled or mouldy insulation. That hides the problem. We fix the cause first.
Do you work outside Beeston?
Yes, across England and Wales, including Stapleford, Clifton, Long Eaton, Nottingham and Ilkeston. Every town we list in Nottinghamshire.
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
Can I keep storing things in the loft?
Yes, on a floor raised above the insulation so it isn’t squashed.
