Loft problems we see in Spennymoor
About a third of homes here are semi-detached (36%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.
Terraced houses are 35% 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.
Before you book, have a look for boxes sitting straight on the insulation, insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists or droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Spennymoor: questions
What type of home is most common in Spennymoor?
Semi-detached houses, at 36% of households in the 2021 Census, then terraced houses at 35%.
I live just outside Spennymoor. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Durham, Bishop Auckland, Newton Aycliffe, Houghton-le-Spring and Peterlee are covered too. Every town we list in County Durham.
Do you work for landlords in Spennymoor?
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.
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.
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.
