Loft problems we see in Long Eaton
About half of homes here are semi-detached (49%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.
16% 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.
Before you book, have a look for insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists, spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof or drips on nails on frosty mornings. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Long Eaton: questions
What type of home is most common in Long Eaton?
Semi-detached houses, at 49% of households in the 2021 Census, then detached houses at 24%.
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.
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.
Do you work for landlords in Long Eaton?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
I live just outside Long Eaton. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Stapleford, Beeston, Clifton, Ilkeston and Nottingham are covered too. Every town we list in Derbyshire.
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.
