What goes wrong in Chard lofts

30% of homes in Chard are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.

Terraced houses are 25% 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.

Things that tell us a loft needs attention: eaves packed so tight no daylight shows, a musty smell as the hatch opens or drips on nails on frosty mornings. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.
