Common loft faults here
48% of the housing in Longton is semi-detached. When we open those hatches we often find cables buried under old insulation and eaves packed tight.
With 6% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Longton. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.
Many households here (51%) own outright. Lofts that were insulated back when they moved in are often thin, dusty and due a look.
Signs that something is wrong up there include spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof, water marks on the ceiling under the loft or eaves packed so tight no daylight shows. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Longton: questions
What share of homes in Longton are houses?
95% are houses or bungalows; 4% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
How much will it cost to fix my loft in Longton?
It depends on what we find, how much has to come out and the size of the loft. The check is free and the quote is in writing.
Do you work outside Longton?
Yes, across England and Wales, including Penwortham, Leyland, Bamber Bridge, Preston and Fulwood. Every town we list in Lancashire.
My loft insulation is decades old. Does it need replacing?
If it’s dry and clean, a top-up may be enough. If it’s dusty, damp or soiled, it should come out.
Can I keep storing things in the loft?
Yes, on a floor raised above the insulation so it isn’t squashed.
Can’t you just put new insulation on top?
Not over damp, soiled or mouldy insulation. That hides the problem. We fix the cause first.
