What goes wrong in St Helens lofts
Around two in five of homes here are semi-detached (43%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.
About a third of homes here are terraced (34%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.
If you can get into the loft, look out for insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists, spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof or a cold draught round the loft hatch. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in St Helens: questions
What type of home is most common in St Helens?
Semi-detached houses, at 43% of households in the 2021 Census, then terraced houses at 34%.
I live just outside St Helens. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Prescot, Haydock, Newton-le-Willows, Ashton-in-Makerfield and Huyton with Roby are covered too. Every town we list in St Helens.
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.
Do you work for landlords in St Helens?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
Will my house get dusty?
We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.
