Loft problems we see in Bolsover
With 41% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Bolsover have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.
About a quarter of homes here are terraced (26%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.
Things that tell us a loft needs attention: spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof, water marks on the ceiling under the loft or eaves packed so tight no daylight shows. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Bolsover: questions
What type of home is most common in Bolsover?
Semi-detached houses, at 41% of households in the 2021 Census, then detached houses at 26%.
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 Bolsover?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
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.
I live just outside Bolsover. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Staveley, Shirebrook, Brimington, Chesterfield and Mansfield Woodhouse are covered too. Every town we list in Derbyshire.
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.
