What goes wrong in Cheadle Hulme lofts
Semis are 43% of homes in Cheadle Hulme. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.
With 8% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Cheadle Hulme. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.
Many households here (45%) own outright. Lofts that were insulated back when they moved in are often thin, dusty and due a look.
If you can get into the loft, look out for a musty smell as the hatch opens, 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 Cheadle Hulme: questions
What share of homes in Cheadle Hulme are houses?
87% are houses or bungalows; 12% 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 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.
Do you work outside Cheadle Hulme?
My loft insulation is decades old. Does it need replacing?
If it’s dry and clean, a top-up may be enough. If it’s dusty, damp or soiled, it should come out.
