Loft problems we see in Ilkeston

45% of the housing in Ilkeston is semi-detached. When we open those hatches we often find cables buried under old insulation and eaves packed tight.

With 26% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Ilkeston. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.

If you can get into the loft, look out for droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation, boxes sitting straight on the insulation or grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.
