Loft problems in Chester: questions
What share of homes in Chester are houses?
77% are houses or bungalows; 23% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
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 Chester 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 Chester?
Yes, across England and Wales, including Hawarden, Ellesmere Port, Connah's Quay, Buckley and Neston. Every town we list in Cheshire West and Chester.
Can I keep storing things in the loft?
Yes, on a floor raised above the insulation so it isn’t squashed.
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
