Loft services in Buckingham
Common loft faults here
About a quarter of homes here are semi-detached (27%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.
About one in five of homes here are terraced (22%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.
Signs that something is wrong up there include water marks on the ceiling under the loft, spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof or grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Buckingham: questions
What type of home is most common in Buckingham?
Detached houses, at 36% of households in the 2021 Census, then semi-detached houses at 27%.
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 Buckingham. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Brackley, Towcester, Milton Keynes, Bicester and Bletchley are covered too. Every town we list in Buckinghamshire.
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.
Is the loft check free?
Yes, with no obligation.
Do you work for landlords in Buckingham?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
