Loft problems we see in Jarrow
About half of homes here are semi-detached (49%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.
About a quarter of homes here are terraced (30%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.
Things that tell us a loft needs attention: boxes sitting straight on the insulation, water marks on the ceiling under the loft or drips on nails on frosty mornings. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Jarrow: questions
What type of home is most common in Jarrow?
Semi-detached houses, at 49% of households in the 2021 Census, then terraced houses at 30%.
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.
I live just outside Jarrow. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Hebburn, South Shields, Wallsend, Tynemouth and Gateshead are covered too. Every town we list in South Tyneside.
Do you work for landlords in Jarrow?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
Will my house get dusty?
We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.
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.
