Loft problems in Elland: questions
What share of homes in Elland are houses?
81% are houses or bungalows; 19% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
I rent in Elland and there’s damp in the loft. What do I do?
Tell your landlord, who is responsible for the building. Council and housing association tenants should report it to their repairs team. Landlords can book a loft check with us.
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.
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
Do you work outside Elland?
Yes, across England and Wales, including Brighouse, Huddersfield, Halifax, Cleckheaton and Mirfield. Every town we list in Calderdale.
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.
