What goes wrong in Scunthorpe lofts
With 53% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Scunthorpe have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.
14% of households here live in terraced houses, many with slate roofs and no felt. Those lofts need airflow, so insulation must stop short of the eaves.
Private renting is common in Scunthorpe (20%). The loft is easy for landlords to forget until damp shows through a ceiling.
Things that tell us a loft needs attention: boxes sitting straight on the insulation, eaves packed so tight no daylight shows or black spots on the rafters or felt. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Scunthorpe: questions
What type of home is most common in Scunthorpe?
Semi-detached houses, at 53% of households in the 2021 Census, then detached houses at 17%.
Do you work for landlords in Scunthorpe?
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.
Will my house get dusty?
We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.
I live just outside Scunthorpe. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Brough, Barton-upon-Humber, Goole, Hessle and Thorne are covered too. Every town we list in North Lincolnshire.
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.
