What goes wrong in Penrith lofts
Semis are 33% of homes in Penrith. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.
Terraces account for 25% of Penrith’s homes. Where party walls stop short in the loft, warm air, smells and pests pass between houses; we close the gaps on your side.
Many households here (40%) 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: eaves packed so tight no daylight shows, boxes sitting straight on the insulation or drips on nails on frosty mornings. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Penrith: questions
What share of homes in Penrith are houses?
78% are houses or bungalows; 22% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
Can I keep storing things in the loft?
Yes, on a floor raised above the insulation so it isn’t squashed.
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 Penrith 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.
Do you work outside Penrith?
Yes, across England and Wales, including Carlisle, Kendal, Workington, Hexham and Whitehaven. Every town we list in Westmorland and Furness.
