Loft problems we see in Dewsbury

With 39% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Dewsbury have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.

30% 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.

Before you book, have a look for black spots on the rafters or felt, eaves packed so tight no daylight shows or droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Dewsbury: questions

What type of home is most common in Dewsbury?

Semi-detached houses, at 39% of households in the 2021 Census, then terraced houses at 30%.

Is the loft check free?

Yes, with no obligation.

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.

I live just outside Dewsbury. Is that covered?

Do you work for landlords in Dewsbury?

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.
