Loft problems we see in Clifton
41% of households here live in terraced houses, many with slate roofs and no felt. Those lofts need airflow, so insulation must stop short of the eaves.
With 35% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Clifton have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.
Before you book, have a look for a musty smell as the hatch opens, insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists or boxes sitting straight on the insulation. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Clifton: questions
What type of home is most common in Clifton?
Terraced houses, at 41% of households in the 2021 Census, then semi-detached houses at 35%.
There are boards nailed straight onto my joists. Is that bad?
It usually means the insulation underneath is squashed. We lift the boards, fix the insulation and put storage back on a raised floor.
I live just outside Clifton. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Beeston, West Bridgford, Stapleford, Long Eaton and Nottingham are covered too. Every town we list in Nottingham.
Will my house get dusty?
We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.
How do I know if my insulation needs replacing?
It’s thin, grey, damp, stained or has droppings in it, or there’s a musty smell.
Can mice get in from next door?
In terraces they often travel along the eaves. We seal the gaps on your side and clear out spoiled insulation.
