What goes wrong in Brackley lofts
41% of homes here are detached. Big lofts mean big areas of spoiled insulation when something goes wrong, and long eaves where pests can find a way in.
About a quarter of homes here are semi-detached (28%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.
If you can get into the loft, look out for a cold draught round the loft hatch, black spots on the rafters or felt or grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Brackley: questions
What type of home is most common in Brackley?
Detached houses, at 41% of households in the 2021 Census, then semi-detached houses at 28%.
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 Brackley. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Buckingham, Banbury, Bicester, Towcester and Kidlington are covered too. Every town we list in West Northamptonshire.
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.
My surveyor flagged spray foam. Can you remove it?
Yes. We cut it off by hand, leave the timbers visible and give you photos for your lender.
