What goes wrong in Cudworth and Shafton lofts

About half of homes here are semi-detached (48%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.

About a quarter of homes here are terraced (25%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.

Things that tell us a loft needs attention: insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists, cables buried out of sight under insulation or grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Usually condensation: warm, moist air from the house reaching cold timber. Fans venting into the loft and blocked eaves are common causes.

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.
