Loft services in Corby
Common loft faults here
About a third of homes here are semi-detached (39%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.
27% 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.
Private renting is common in Corby (21%). The loft is easy for landlords to forget until damp shows through a ceiling.
Worth checking in a Corby loft: spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof, a musty smell as the hatch opens or eaves packed so tight no daylight shows. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

What type of home is most common in Corby?

Do you work for landlords in Corby?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
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.

Yes. Nearby places such as Desborough, Kettering, Burton Latimer, Market Harborough and Raunds are covered too. Every town we list in North Northamptonshire.
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.
Will my house get dusty?
We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.
