Loft problems we see in Aldridge

With 45% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Aldridge have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.

Terraced houses are 11% of the housing. In small terrace lofts the eaves get stuffed with insulation, air stops moving and condensation follows. Clearing the eaves usually fixes it.

46% of households own outright, so plenty of lofts here were insulated decades ago. Old insulation that has settled, got dusty or been nested in is worth replacing.

If you can get into the loft, look out for drips on nails on frosty mornings, insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists or droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Aldridge: questions

What type of home is most common in Aldridge?

Semi-detached houses, at 45% of households in the 2021 Census, then detached houses at 25%.

Will my house get dusty?

We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.

Is the loft check free?

Yes, with no obligation.

There are boards nailed straight onto my joists. Is that bad?

It usually means the insulation underneath is squashed. We lift the boards, fix the insulation and put storage back on a raised floor.

My loft insulation is decades old. Does it need replacing?

If it’s dry and clean, a top-up may be enough. If it’s dusty, damp or soiled, it should come out.

I live just outside Aldridge. Is that covered?

Yes. Nearby places such as Rushall and Shelfield, Streetly, Pelsall, Brownhills and Walsall are covered too. Every town we list in Walsall.
