Loft problems we see in Castleford

Semis are 45% of homes in Castleford. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.

With 28% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Castleford. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.

If you can get into the loft, look out for water marks on the ceiling under the loft, a cold draught round the loft hatch or insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists. Any one of them is worth a free check.

I rent in Castleford 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.

How much will it cost to fix my loft in Castleford?

It depends on what we find, how much has to come out and the size of the loft. The check is free and the quote is in writing.

Can I keep storing things in the loft?

Yes, on a floor raised above the insulation so it isn’t squashed.
