What goes wrong in Northallerton lofts
About a third of homes here are semi-detached (33%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.
About a quarter of homes here are terraced (26%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.
Worth checking in a Northallerton loft: a musty smell as the hatch opens, eaves packed so tight no daylight shows or black spots on the rafters or felt. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Northallerton: questions
What type of home is most common in Northallerton?
Semi-detached houses, at 33% of households in the 2021 Census, then detached houses at 27%.
What causes black spots on loft timber?
Usually condensation: warm, moist air from the house reaching cold timber. Fans venting into the loft and blocked eaves are common causes.

Do you work for landlords in Northallerton?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
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.
