Loft services in Brownhills
Common loft faults here
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.
About one in eight of homes here are terraced (16%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.
Worth checking in a Brownhills loft: drips on nails on frosty mornings, a cold draught round the loft hatch or grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Brownhills: questions
What type of home is most common in Brownhills?
Semi-detached houses, at 46% of households in the 2021 Census, then detached houses at 23%.
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.
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 Brownhills?
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.
