What goes wrong in Standish lofts
Detached houses are 43% of homes in Standish. Some had spray foam added to the roof in the past, which can cause trouble when the house is sold or remortgaged.
Semis are 34% of homes in Standish. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.
Many households here (41%) own outright. Lofts that were insulated back when they moved in are often thin, dusty and due a look.
Signs that something is wrong up there include insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists, cables buried out of sight under insulation or drips on nails on frosty mornings. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Standish: questions
What share of homes in Standish are houses?
91% are houses or bungalows; 10% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
My surveyor flagged spray foam. Can you remove it?
Yes. We cut it off by hand, leave the timbers visible and give you photos for your lender.
Can’t you just put new insulation on top?
Not over damp, soiled or mouldy insulation. That hides the problem. We fix the cause first.
My loft insulation is decades old. Does it need replacing?
If it’s dry and clean, a top-up may be enough. If it’s dusty, damp or soiled, it should come out.
Do you work outside Standish?
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
