What goes wrong in Hebburn lofts
41% of homes in Hebburn are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.
Terraced houses are 26% of the housing. In small terrace lofts the eaves get stuffed with insulation, air stops moving and condensation follows. Clearing the eaves usually fixes it.
Worth checking in a Hebburn loft: black spots on the rafters or felt, a musty smell as the hatch opens or insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Hebburn: questions
What type of home is most common in Hebburn?
Semi-detached houses, at 41% of households in the 2021 Census, then terraced houses at 26%.
What causes black spots on loft timber?
Usually condensation: warm, moist air from the house reaching cold timber. Fans venting into the loft and blocked eaves are common causes.

Do you work for landlords in Hebburn?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
How do I know if my insulation needs replacing?
It’s thin, grey, damp, stained or has droppings in it, or there’s a musty smell.
There are boards nailed straight onto my joists. Is that bad?
It usually means the insulation underneath is squashed. We lift the boards, fix the insulation and put storage back on a raised floor.
