Loft problems in Peterlee: questions
What share of homes in Peterlee are houses?
95% are houses or bungalows; 6% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
I rent in Peterlee 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.
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.
Do you work outside Peterlee?
Yes, across England and Wales, including Seaham, Hartlepool, Houghton-le-Spring, Durham and Shiney Row and Penshaw. Every town we list in County Durham.
Can I keep storing things in the loft?
Yes, on a floor raised above the insulation so it isn’t squashed.
