Loft services in Bradford
Common loft faults here
Semi-detached houses make up 38%. A frequent find: a bathroom fan blowing into the loft and black spots on the rafters above it.
Terraces account for 34% of Bradford’s homes. Where party walls stop short in the loft, warm air, smells and pests pass between houses; we close the gaps on your side.
Private renting is common in Bradford (26%). The loft is easy for landlords to forget until damp shows through a ceiling.
Worth checking in a Bradford loft: boxes sitting straight on the insulation, water marks on the ceiling under the loft or cables buried out of sight under insulation. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Bradford: questions
What share of homes in Bradford are houses?
82% are houses or bungalows; 18% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
Can I keep storing things in the loft?
Yes, on a floor raised above the insulation so it isn’t squashed.
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.
I rent in Bradford and there’s damp in the loft. What do I do?
Tell your landlord, who is responsible for the building. Council and housing association tenants should report it to their repairs team. Landlords can book a loft check with us.
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
