Loft problems we see in Hartlepool

Semis are 34% of homes in Hartlepool. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.

35% of homes in Hartlepool 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.

Before you book, have a look for boxes sitting straight on the insulation, droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation or grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Hartlepool: questions

What share of homes in Hartlepool are houses?

86% are houses or bungalows; 13% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).

Can I keep storing things in the loft?

Yes, on a floor raised above the insulation so it isn’t squashed.

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 Hartlepool 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.

Do you work outside Hartlepool?

Yes, across England and Wales, including Billingham, Peterlee, Redcar, Eston and Stockton-on-Tees.

Where does new insulation go?

On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
