Loft problems we see in Braintree
35% of homes in Braintree are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.
About a quarter of homes here are terraced (23%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.
Before you book, have a look for eaves packed so tight no daylight shows, cables buried out of sight under insulation or drips on nails on frosty mornings. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.
