Loft problems in Stanley: questions
What share of homes in Stanley are houses?
94% are houses or bungalows; 6% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
Do you work outside Stanley?
Yes, across England and Wales, including Chester-le-Street, Birtley, Whickham, Consett and Blaydon. Every town we list in County Durham.
Can mice get in from next door?
In terraces they often travel along the eaves. We seal the gaps on your side and clear out spoiled insulation.
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.
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.
