Loft services in Leek
Common loft faults here
With 32% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Leek have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.
35% 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.
41% of households own outright, so plenty of lofts here were insulated decades ago. Old insulation that has settled, got dusty or been nested in is worth replacing.
Signs that something is wrong up there include black spots on the rafters or felt, boxes sitting straight on the insulation or a cold draught round the loft hatch. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Leek: questions
What type of home is most common in Leek?
Terraced houses, at 35% of households in the 2021 Census, then semi-detached houses at 32%.
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.
Will my house get dusty?
We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.
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.
