Common loft faults here
With 34% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Hyde have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.
39% of households here live in terraced houses, many with slate roofs and no felt. Those lofts need airflow, so insulation must stop short of the eaves.
Things that tell us a loft needs attention: boxes sitting straight on the insulation, black spots on the rafters or felt or droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Hyde: questions
What type of home is most common in Hyde?
Terraced houses, at 39% of households in the 2021 Census, then semi-detached houses at 34%.
I live just outside Hyde. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Dukinfield, Denton, Bredbury and Woodley, Romiley and Stalybridge are covered too. Every town we list in Tameside.
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.
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 Hyde?
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.
