Loft problems we see in Cottingham
Semi-detached houses make up 43%. A frequent find: a bathroom fan blowing into the loft and black spots on the rafters above it.
With 16% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Cottingham. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.
With 46% owning outright, many people in Cottingham have lived with the same loft for years. Insulation level with the joists is a sign it’s time to look.
Worth checking in a Cottingham loft: drips on nails on frosty mornings, grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring or water marks on the ceiling under the loft. Any one of them is worth a free check.

Loft problems in Cottingham: questions
What share of homes in Cottingham are houses?
84% are houses or bungalows; 15% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
Do you work outside Cottingham?
Yes, across England and Wales, including Willerby and Anlaby, Kingston upon Hull, Beverley, Hessle and Barton-upon-Humber. Every town we list in East Riding of Yorkshire.
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
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.
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.
