What goes wrong in Uttoxeter lofts
41% of the housing in Uttoxeter is semi-detached. When we open those hatches we often find cables buried under old insulation and eaves packed tight.
With 18% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Uttoxeter. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.
If you can get into the loft, look out for boxes sitting straight on the insulation, water marks on the ceiling under the loft or drips on nails on frosty mornings. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

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.
