What goes wrong in Baldock lofts
With 33% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Baldock have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.
Terraced houses are 28% 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: boxes sitting straight on the insulation, droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation or black spots on the rafters or felt. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.
