What goes wrong in Carlton lofts
About a third of homes here are semi-detached (36%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.
Terraced houses are 17% 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.
Worth checking in a Carlton loft: water marks on the ceiling under the loft, droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation or eaves packed so tight no daylight shows. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Carlton: questions
What type of home is most common in Carlton?
Semi-detached houses, at 36% of households in the 2021 Census, then detached houses at 34%.
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.
Is the loft check free?
Yes, with no obligation.
Do you work for landlords in Carlton?
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.
I live just outside Carlton. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Arnold, West Bridgford, Nottingham, Bingham and Clifton are covered too. Every town we list in Nottinghamshire.
