Loft services in Bentley
Common loft faults here
Terraced houses are 40% 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 40% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Bentley have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.
29% 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 spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof, water marks on the ceiling under the loft or cables buried out of sight under insulation. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Bentley: questions
What type of home is most common in Bentley?
Semi-detached houses, at 40% of households in the 2021 Census, then terraced houses at 40%.
What causes black spots on loft timber?
Usually condensation: warm, moist air from the house reaching cold timber. Fans venting into the loft and blocked eaves are common causes.
Is the loft check free?
Yes, with no obligation.
I live just outside Bentley. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Scawthorpe and Cusworth, Doncaster, Adwick le Street, Kirk Sandall and Edenthorpe and Armthorpe are covered too. Every town we list in Doncaster.
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.
Can mice get in from next door?
In terraces they often travel along the eaves. We seal the gaps on your side and clear out spoiled insulation.
