What if there’s damp or mould in my loft?

Can landlords in Gomersal and Birkenshaw get quotes?

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.

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.
