Common loft faults here
45% of the housing in Stoke-on-Trent is semi-detached. When we open those hatches we often find cables buried under old insulation and eaves packed tight.
With 28% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Stoke-on-Trent. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.
21% of households rent privately. Condensation from drying clothes indoors often ends up in the loft; landlords can book a check.
If you can get into the loft, look out for spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof, a musty smell as the hatch opens or black spots on the rafters or felt. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Stoke-on-Trent: questions
What share of homes in Stoke-on-Trent are houses?
88% are houses or bungalows; 12% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
Can I keep storing things in the loft?
Yes, on a floor raised above the insulation so it isn’t squashed.
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.
Do you work outside Stoke-on-Trent?
Yes, across England and Wales, including Newcastle-under-Lyme, Stone, Cheadle, Kidsgrove and Biddulph.
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
I rent in Stoke-on-Trent and there’s damp in the loft. What do I do?
Tell your landlord, who is responsible for the building. Council and housing association tenants should report it to their repairs team. Landlords can book a loft check with us.
