Common loft faults here

With 30% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Burton upon Trent have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.

Terraced houses are 28% 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.

24% of households rent privately. Condensation from drying clothes indoors often ends up in the loft; landlords can book a check.

Signs that something is wrong up there include water marks on the ceiling under the loft, insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists or black spots on the rafters or felt. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.
