Loft insulation removal and repairs in Newmarket

What goes wrong in Newmarket lofts

25% of the housing in Newmarket is semi-detached. When we open those hatches we often find cables buried under old insulation and eaves packed tight.

With 27% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Newmarket. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.

27% of homes in Newmarket are flats. The roof space above a top-floor flat usually belongs to the freeholder, so check your lease before any work.

30% of households rent privately. Condensation from drying clothes indoors often ends up in the loft; landlords can book a check.

Before you book, have a look for droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation, a cold draught round the loft hatch or boxes sitting straight on the insulation. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.
