What South Shields lofts usually need
Semi-detached houses account for 38%. A typical job: top up the old layer to full depth, lay a raised deck and fit a ladder.
About a quarter of homes here are terraces (29%). Older ones may have roofs without felt, which makes airflow at the eaves important.
28% of homes in South Shields are flats. The loft above a top-floor flat usually belongs to the freeholder, so check your lease first.
Our quote is based on whether the roof is trussed or traditional, where the tank and pipes sit and the size of the hatch and where a ladder would land. Then every part goes in the quote with its own price.
