Loft problems we see in Mirfield
Semi-detached houses make up 39%. A frequent find: a bathroom fan blowing into the loft and black spots on the rafters above it.
22% of homes in Mirfield are terraces. Older terrace lofts often have no roof felt, gaps through the party walls and insulation pushed into the eaves, which is a recipe for damp timber.
Many households here (41%) own outright. Lofts that were insulated back when they moved in are often thin, dusty and due a look.
Things that tell us a loft needs attention: cables buried out of sight under insulation, insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists or black spots on the rafters or felt. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Mirfield: questions
What share of homes in Mirfield are houses?
88% are houses or bungalows; 11% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
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.
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
Do you work outside Mirfield?
Yes, across England and Wales, including Liversedge, Heckmondwike, Dewsbury, Cleckheaton and Batley. Every town we list in Kirklees.
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.
