Loft problems in Selby: questions
What share of homes in Selby are houses?
85% are houses or bungalows; 15% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
I rent in Selby 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.
Can I keep storing things in the loft?
Yes, on a floor raised above the insulation so it isn’t squashed.
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
How long does a loft job take?
A check takes under an hour. Removal and new insulation usually take one or two days.
Do you work outside Selby?
Yes, across England and Wales, including Goole, Pontefract, Castleford, York and Thorne. Every town we list in North Yorkshire.
