What goes wrong in Bridgnorth lofts
34% of homes in Bridgnorth 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 22% 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.
42% of homes are owned outright. Long ownership often means a loft nobody has looked in for years, with whatever problems have built up.
Things that tell us a loft needs attention: grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring, insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists or boxes sitting straight on the insulation. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Bridgnorth: questions
What type of home is most common in Bridgnorth?
Semi-detached houses, at 34% of households in the 2021 Census, then detached houses at 28%.
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.
Do you work for landlords in Bridgnorth?
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.
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 Bridgnorth. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Wombourne, Telford, Kingswinford, Codsall and Sedgley are covered too. Every town we list in Shropshire.
