Loft problems we see in Middlesbrough
41% of homes in Middlesbrough are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.
About a quarter of homes here are terraced (29%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.
In Middlesbrough, 21% of homes are privately rented. Tenants spotting damp on top-floor ceilings should tell the landlord, who can arrange a check.
Before you book, have a look for insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists, drips on nails on frosty mornings or spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Middlesbrough: questions
What type of home is most common in Middlesbrough?
Semi-detached houses, at 41% of households in the 2021 Census, then terraced houses at 29%.
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.
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 Middlesbrough?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
I live just outside Middlesbrough. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Eston, Thornaby-on-Tees, Billingham, Ingleby Barwick and Stockton-on-Tees are covered too.
Will my house get dusty?
We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.
