Loft services in Matlock
Common loft faults here
36% of the housing in Matlock is semi-detached. When we open those hatches we often find cables buried under old insulation and eaves packed tight.
With 19% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Matlock. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.
Many households here (44%) own outright. Lofts that were insulated back when they moved in are often thin, dusty and due a look.
Worth checking in a Matlock loft: eaves packed so tight no daylight shows, a musty smell as the hatch opens or boxes sitting straight on the insulation. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

I rent in Matlock and there’s damp in the loft. What do I do?
Tell your landlord, who is responsible for the building. Council and housing association tenants should report it to their repairs team. Landlords can book a loft check with us.
