Common loft jobs in Heysham

42% of households in Heysham live in a semi-detached house. A typical semi has a loft big enough for storage, a hatch on the landing and one party wall to insulate up to; we check all three.

Terraced houses make up 15% of homes here. Their lofts tend to be smaller and are often reached through a narrow hatch on the landing, so access is one of the first things we look at. The insulation needs to meet the party walls on each side with no gaps.

With 22% of households in private rented homes, tenants in Heysham should talk to their landlord about insulation. Most improvements to the building are the landlord’s to arrange.

Of course. Coverage isn’t limited to the town: enquiries come from right across England and Wales, including Morecambe, Lancaster, Fleetwood, Ulverston and Thornton. See every town we list in Lancashire.

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.

Can landlords in Heysham get quotes?

Yes. 22% of households in Heysham rent privately, and landlords can request a quote in the same way as owner-occupiers. Tenants should raise insulation with their landlord rather than arranging work themselves.

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.
