What goes wrong in Berkhamsted lofts
Semi-detached houses make up 25%. A frequent find: a bathroom fan blowing into the loft and black spots on the rafters above it.
21% of homes in Berkhamsted are terraces. Older terrace lofts often have no roof felt, gaps through the party walls and insulation pushed into the eaves, which is a recipe for damp timber.
Signs that something is wrong up there include drips on nails on frosty mornings, droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation or grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Berkhamsted: questions
What share of homes in Berkhamsted are houses?
77% are houses or bungalows; 22% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
How long does a loft job take?
A check takes under an hour. Removal and new insulation usually take one or two days.
Can I keep storing things in the loft?
Yes, on a floor raised above the insulation so it isn’t squashed.
Can’t you just put new insulation on top?
Not over damp, soiled or mouldy insulation. That hides the problem. We fix the cause first.

Yes, across England and Wales, including Chesham, Tring, Hemel Hempstead, Amersham and Abbots Langley and Kings Langley. Every town we list in Hertfordshire.
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
