Loft problems we see in Amersham
With 28% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Amersham have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.
Terraced houses are 15% 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.
Things that tell us a loft needs attention: eaves packed so tight no daylight shows, droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation or boxes sitting straight on the insulation. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Amersham: questions
What type of home is most common in Amersham?
Detached houses, at 36% of households in the 2021 Census, then semi-detached houses at 28%.
How do I know if my insulation needs replacing?
It’s thin, grey, damp, stained or has droppings in it, or there’s a musty smell.
Do you work for landlords in Amersham?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
I live just outside Amersham. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Chesham, Chorleywood, Hazlemere, Beaconsfield and Chalfont St Peter are covered too. Every town we list in Buckinghamshire.
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.
What causes black spots on loft timber?
Usually condensation: warm, moist air from the house reaching cold timber. Fans venting into the loft and blocked eaves are common causes.
