Loft problems in Padiham: questions

What share of homes in Padiham are houses?

89% are houses or bungalows; 10% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).

Do you work outside Padiham?

Yes, across England and Wales, including Burnley, Brierfield, Great Harwood, Accrington and Nelson. Every town we list in Lancashire.

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.

Where does new insulation go?

On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.

I rent in Padiham and there’s damp in the loft. What do I do?

Tell your landlord, who is responsible for the building. Council and housing association tenants should report it to their repairs team. 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.
