Loft services in Huntington
Common loft faults here
Semis are 54% of homes in Huntington. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.
12% of homes in Huntington 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.
Many households here (42%) own outright. Lofts that were insulated back when they moved in are often thin, dusty and due a look.
If you can get into the loft, look out for grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring, insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists or eaves packed so tight no daylight shows. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Huntington: questions
What share of homes in Huntington are houses?
88% are houses or bungalows; 12% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
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.
Do you work outside Huntington?
I rent in Huntington 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’t you just put new insulation on top?
Not over damp, soiled or mouldy insulation. That hides the problem. We fix the cause first.
