Loft problems we see in Bridgend
42% of homes in Bridgend are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.
Terraced houses are 18% of the housing. In small terrace lofts the eaves get stuffed with insulation, air stops moving and condensation follows. Clearing the eaves usually fixes it.
Things that tell us a loft needs attention: a musty smell as the hatch opens, boxes sitting straight on the insulation or cables buried out of sight under insulation. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Do you work for landlords in Bridgend?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
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.
Will my house get dusty?
We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.
I live just outside Bridgend. Is that covered?
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.
