What goes wrong in Burntwood lofts
Semi-detached houses make up 45%. A frequent find: a bathroom fan blowing into the loft and black spots on the rafters above it.
13% of homes in Burntwood are terraces. Older terrace lofts often have no roof felt, gaps through the party walls and insulation pushed into the eaves, which is a recipe for damp timber.
Many households here (43%) own outright. Lofts that were insulated back when they moved in are often thin, dusty and due a look.
Things that tell us a loft needs attention: a cold draught round the loft hatch, cables buried out of sight under insulation or droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Burntwood: questions
What share of homes in Burntwood are houses?
89% are houses or bungalows; 9% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
Can I keep storing things in the loft?
Yes, on a floor raised above the insulation so it isn’t squashed.
My loft insulation is decades old. Does it need replacing?
If it’s dry and clean, a top-up may be enough. If it’s dusty, damp or soiled, it should come out.
Do you work outside Burntwood?
Yes, across England and Wales, including Brownhills, Cannock, Pelsall, Lichfield and Great Wyrley and Cheslyn Hay. Every town we list in Staffordshire.
Can’t you just put new insulation on top?
Not over damp, soiled or mouldy insulation. That hides the problem. We fix the cause first.
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
