Common loft faults here

With 46% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Baglan have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.

25% of households here live in terraced houses, many with slate roofs and no felt. Those lofts need airflow, so insulation must stop short of the eaves.

Worth checking in a Baglan loft: black spots on the rafters or felt, water marks on the ceiling under the loft or cables buried out of sight under insulation. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Baglan: questions

What type of home is most common in Baglan?

Semi-detached houses, at 46% of households in the 2021 Census, then terraced houses at 25%.

Do you work for landlords in Baglan?

Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.

I live just outside Baglan. Is that covered?

Yes. Nearby places such as Neath, Port Talbot, Swansea, Maesteg and Pyle are covered too. Every town we list in Neath Port Talbot.

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.

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.

Is the loft check free?

Yes, with no obligation.
