Loft services in Whitefield
Common loft faults here
With 42% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Whitefield have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.
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.
Worth checking in a Whitefield loft: a musty smell as the hatch opens, drips on nails on frosty mornings or spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Whitefield: questions
What type of home is most common in Whitefield?
Semi-detached houses, at 42% of households in the 2021 Census, then terraced houses at 27%.
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 Whitefield. Is that covered?
Will my house get dusty?
We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.
Do you work for landlords in Whitefield?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
