Common loft faults here
Semis are 32% of homes in Chelmsford. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.
Terraces account for 22% of Chelmsford’s homes. Where party walls stop short in the loft, warm air, smells and pests pass between houses; we close the gaps on your side.
26% of homes in Chelmsford are flats. The roof space above a top-floor flat usually belongs to the freeholder, so check your lease before any work.
Before you book, have a look for eaves packed so tight no daylight shows, boxes sitting straight on the insulation or insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.
