Loft problems we see in Brierley Hill
Around two in five of homes here are semi-detached (46%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.
Terraced houses are 14% 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.
Before you book, have a look for insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists, boxes sitting straight on the insulation or water marks on the ceiling under the loft. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

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.
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.
