What goes wrong in Stockport lofts
40% of homes in Stockport are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.
27% 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.
Things that tell us a loft needs attention: drips on nails on frosty mornings, cables buried out of sight under insulation or water marks on the ceiling under the loft. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Stockport: questions
What type of home is most common in Stockport?
Semi-detached houses, at 40% of households in the 2021 Census, then terraced houses at 27%.
Will my house get dusty?
We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.
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.
I live just outside Stockport. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Reddish, Bredbury and Woodley, Cheadle, Hazel Grove and Cheadle Hulme are covered too. Every town we list in Stockport.
