Common loft faults here
With 27% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Cambourne have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.
28% 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.
Before you book, have a look for drips on nails on frosty mornings, grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring or a musty smell as the hatch opens. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Cambourne: questions
What type of home is most common in Cambourne?
Detached houses, at 34% of households in the 2021 Census, then terraced houses at 28%.
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.
I live just outside Cambourne. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as St Ives, St Neots, Cambridge, Huntingdon and Sandy are covered too. Every town we list in Cambridgeshire.
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 Cambourne?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
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.
