Loft services in Denton
Common loft faults here
With 49% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Denton have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.
About a quarter of homes here are terraced (30%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.
If you can get into the loft, look out for black spots on the rafters or felt, spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof or boxes sitting straight on the insulation. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Denton: questions
What type of home is most common in Denton?
Semi-detached houses, at 49% of households in the 2021 Census, then terraced houses at 30%.
I live just outside Denton. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Audenshaw, Reddish, Bredbury and Woodley, Hyde and Dukinfield are covered too. Every town we list in Tameside.
What causes black spots on loft timber?
Usually condensation: warm, moist air from the house reaching cold timber. Fans venting into the loft and blocked eaves are common causes.
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.
Do you work for landlords in Denton?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
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.
