What goes wrong in Brixham lofts
With 25% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Brixham have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.
Terraced houses are 25% 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.
Private renting is common in Brixham (21%). The loft is easy for landlords to forget until damp shows through a ceiling.
50% of households own outright, so plenty of lofts here were insulated decades ago. Old insulation that has settled, got dusty or been nested in is worth replacing.
Before you book, have a look for insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists, droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation or boxes sitting straight on the insulation. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.
