Loft problems we see in Halstead
Semis are 36% of homes in Halstead. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.
With 27% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Halstead. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.
Before you book, have a look for spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof, insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists or drips on nails on frosty mornings. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Halstead: questions
What share of homes in Halstead are houses?
84% are houses or bungalows; 16% 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 Halstead 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.
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
Can I keep storing things in the loft?
Yes, on a floor raised above the insulation so it isn’t squashed.
