What goes wrong in Caerphilly lofts
43% of homes in Caerphilly are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.
24% of households here live in terraced houses, many with slate roofs and no felt. Those lofts need airflow, so insulation must stop short of the eaves.
Worth checking in a Caerphilly loft: water marks on the ceiling under the loft, insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists or cables buried out of sight under insulation. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Caerphilly: questions
What type of home is most common in Caerphilly?
Semi-detached houses, at 43% of households in the 2021 Census, then terraced houses at 24%.
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.
Do you work for landlords in Caerphilly?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
I live just outside Caerphilly. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Church Village, Ystrad Mynach, Pontypridd, Risca and Cardiff are covered too. Every town we list in Caerphilly.
Is the loft check free?
Yes, with no obligation.
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.
