Loft problems we see in Fulwood
46% of the housing in Fulwood is semi-detached. When we open those hatches we often find cables buried under old insulation and eaves packed tight.
With 13% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Fulwood. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.
Many households here (40%) own outright. Lofts that were insulated back when they moved in are often thin, dusty and due a look.
Signs that something is wrong up there include black spots on the rafters or felt, boxes sitting straight on the insulation or spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Fulwood: questions
What share of homes in Fulwood are houses?
84% are houses or bungalows; 15% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
Do you work outside Fulwood?
Yes, across England and Wales, including Preston, Penwortham, Bamber Bridge, Longton and Leyland. Every town we list in Lancashire.
Can I keep storing things in the loft?
Yes, on a floor raised above the insulation so it isn’t squashed.
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
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.
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.
