Common loft faults here

32% of homes in Boston are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.

18% 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.

Private renting is common in Boston (25%). The loft is easy for landlords to forget until damp shows through a ceiling.

Before you book, have a look for water marks on the ceiling under the loft, grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring or spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Boston: questions

What type of home is most common in Boston?

Detached houses, at 34% of households in the 2021 Census, then semi-detached houses at 32%.

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.

I live just outside Boston. Is that covered?

Yes. Nearby places such as Spalding, Sleaford, Skegness, Bourne and Wisbech are covered too. Every town we list in Lincolnshire.

Do you work for landlords in Boston?

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

Is the loft check free?

Yes, with no obligation.

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.
