Loft services in Dewsbury
What that means for your loft
Many semis have lofts that have been part-boarded over the years, often straight onto the joists. Where that has flattened the insulation underneath, raised boarding lets you keep the storage and restore the insulation; 39% of homes in Dewsbury are semi-detached.
With 30% of homes terraced, many lofts in Dewsbury are long and narrow, bounded by party walls on both sides. Insulation should run right up to each party wall, and we check that the wall between lofts is complete, as in some older terraces it isn’t.

Will I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the loft hatch. We agree the details with you when you book.
What if there’s damp or mould in my loft?
Mention it when you enquire. Damp or mouldy insulation normally needs removing, and the cause (a leak or poor ventilation, for example) dealing with, before new insulation goes in.
My loft is boarded. Can it still be insulated?
Often, yes. Boards screwed straight onto the joists usually squash the insulation below. A common fix is to lift them, bring the insulation up to depth and fit raised boarding so you keep the storage space.
