Loft problems we see in Uppermill
31% of the housing in Uppermill is semi-detached. When we open those hatches we often find cables buried under old insulation and eaves packed tight.
With 26% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Uppermill. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.
Many households here (47%) 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, a cold draught round the loft hatch or grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Uppermill: questions
What share of homes in Uppermill are houses?
85% are houses or bungalows; 15% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
Do you work outside Uppermill?
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.
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.
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.
