Loft problems we see in Chesterfield

41% of the housing in Chesterfield is semi-detached. When we open those hatches we often find cables buried under old insulation and eaves packed tight.

With 18% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Chesterfield. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.

Worth checking in a Chesterfield loft: spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof, insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists or droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation. Any one of them is worth a free check.
