Loft services in Bury
Common loft faults here
Semis are 36% of homes in Bury. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.
30% of homes in Bury 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.
Worth checking in a Bury loft: cables buried out of sight under insulation, black spots on the rafters or felt or a musty smell as the hatch opens. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Bury: questions
What share of homes in Bury are houses?
86% are houses or bungalows; 14% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
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 Bury 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.
Do you work outside Bury?
Yes, across England and Wales, including Radcliffe, Heywood, Ramsbottom, Whitefield and Little Lever. Every town we list in Bury.
Can I keep storing things in the loft?
Yes, on a floor raised above the insulation so it isn’t squashed.
