What goes wrong in Lancaster lofts

With 31% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Lancaster have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.

37% 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.

In Lancaster, 25% of homes are privately rented. Tenants spotting damp on top-floor ceilings should tell the landlord, who can arrange a check.

Things that tell us a loft needs attention: a cold draught round the loft hatch, drips on nails on frosty mornings or boxes sitting straight on the insulation. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Lancaster: questions

What type of home is most common in Lancaster?

Terraced houses, at 37% of households in the 2021 Census, then semi-detached houses at 31%.

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.

I live just outside Lancaster. Is that covered?

Yes. Nearby places such as Morecambe, Heysham, Fleetwood, Thornton and Cleveleys are covered too. Every town we list in Lancashire.

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.

Is the loft check free?

Yes, with no obligation.

Do you work for landlords in Lancaster?

Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
