Loft problems we see in Featherstone
Semi-detached houses make up 39%. A frequent find: a bathroom fan blowing into the loft and black spots on the rafters above it.
37% of homes in Featherstone are terraces. Older terrace lofts often have no roof felt, gaps through the party walls and insulation pushed into the eaves, which is a recipe for damp timber.
Worth checking in a Featherstone loft: eaves packed so tight no daylight shows, spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof or a cold draught round the loft hatch. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Featherstone: questions
What share of homes in Featherstone are houses?
91% are houses or bungalows; 9% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
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.
I rent in Featherstone 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 I keep storing things in the loft?
Yes, on a floor raised above the insulation so it isn’t squashed.
Do you work outside Featherstone?
Yes, across England and Wales, including Pontefract, Normanton, Castleford, Wakefield and Kippax. Every town we list in Wakefield.
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
