What goes wrong in Stapleford lofts
With 42% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Stapleford have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.
21% of households here live in terraced houses, many with slate roofs and no felt. Those lofts need airflow, so insulation must stop short of the eaves.
Before you book, have a look for spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof, droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation or black spots on the rafters or felt. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Stapleford: questions
What type of home is most common in Stapleford?
Semi-detached houses, at 42% of households in the 2021 Census, then detached houses at 21%.
Do you work for landlords in Stapleford?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
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.
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.
I live just outside Stapleford. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Beeston, Ilkeston, Long Eaton, Clifton and Nottingham are covered too. Every town we list in Nottinghamshire.
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.
