What goes wrong in Reddish lofts

With 41% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Reddish have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.

Terraced houses are 37% of the housing. In small terrace lofts the eaves get stuffed with insulation, air stops moving and condensation follows. Clearing the eaves usually fixes it.

In Reddish, 22% of homes are privately rented. Tenants spotting damp on top-floor ceilings should tell the landlord, who can arrange a check.

If you can get into the loft, look out for a musty smell as the hatch opens, eaves packed so tight no daylight shows or boxes sitting straight on the insulation. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Reddish: questions

What type of home is most common in Reddish?

Semi-detached houses, at 41% of households in the 2021 Census, then terraced houses at 37%.

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.

Do you work for landlords in Reddish?

Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.

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.

I live just outside Reddish. Is that covered?

Yes. Nearby places such as Denton, Stockport, Bredbury and Woodley, Audenshaw and Droylsden are covered too. Every town we list in Stockport.

Is the loft check free?

Yes, with no obligation.
