Common loft faults here
38% of homes in Coalville are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.
23% 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.
If you can get into the loft, look out for water marks on the ceiling under the loft, a cold draught round the loft hatch or spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

What type of home is most common in Coalville?
Semi-detached houses, at 38% of households in the 2021 Census, then detached houses at 31%.
I live just outside Coalville. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Whitwick, Shepshed, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Loughborough and Swadlincote are covered too. Every town we list in Leicestershire.
Will my house get dusty?
We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.
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 Coalville?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
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.
