Loft services in Seaham
Common loft faults here
Terraces account for 40% of Seaham’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.
Semi-detached houses make up 36%. A frequent find: a bathroom fan blowing into the loft and black spots on the rafters above it.
Things that tell us a loft needs attention: insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists, grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring or droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.
