What goes wrong in Blandford Forum lofts

About a quarter of homes here are semi-detached (24%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.

About a quarter of homes here are terraced (29%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.

Before you book, have a look for grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring, a cold draught round the loft hatch or black spots on the rafters or felt. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Blandford Forum: questions

What type of home is most common in Blandford Forum?

Terraced houses, at 29% of households in the 2021 Census, then detached houses at 24%.

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.

I live just outside Blandford Forum. Is that covered?

Yes. Nearby places such as Corfe Mullen, Wimborne Minster, Ferndown, Verwood and West Moors are covered too. Every town we list in Dorset.

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.

Do you work for landlords in Blandford Forum?

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