Loft services in Morley
Loft problems we see in Morley
32% of the housing in Morley is semi-detached. When we open those hatches we often find cables buried under old insulation and eaves packed tight.
31% of homes in Morley 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.
In Morley, 22% of homes are privately rented. Tenants spotting damp on top-floor ceilings should tell the landlord, who can arrange a check.
If you can get into the loft, look out for a cold draught round the loft hatch, a musty smell as the hatch opens or drips on nails on frosty mornings. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Morley: questions
What share of homes in Morley are houses?
83% are houses or bungalows; 17% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
Do you work outside Morley?
Yes, across England and Wales, including East Ardsley, Batley, Heckmondwike, Gomersal and Birkenshaw and Dewsbury. Every town we list in Leeds.
I rent in Morley and there’s damp in the loft. What do I do?
Tell your landlord, who is responsible for the building. Landlords can book a loft check with us.
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.
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.
