Common loft faults here
With 43% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Workington. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.
Semis are 35% of homes in Workington. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.
Before you book, have a look for insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists, droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation or drips on nails on frosty mornings. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Workington: questions
What share of homes in Workington are houses?
87% are houses or bungalows; 12% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
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 mice get in from next door?
In terraces they often travel along the eaves. We seal the gaps on your side and clear out spoiled insulation.
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
Can I keep storing things in the loft?
Yes, on a floor raised above the insulation so it isn’t squashed.
Do you work outside Workington?
Yes, across England and Wales, including Whitehaven, Carlisle, Penrith, Ulverston and Barrow-in-Furness. Every town we list in Cumberland.
