Loft problems we see in Cwmbrân
Around two in five of homes here are terraced (44%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.
About a quarter of homes here are semi-detached (23%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.
Things that tell us a loft needs attention: a cold draught round the loft hatch, spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof or black spots on the rafters or felt. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Cwmbrân: questions
What type of home is most common in Cwmbrân?
Terraced houses, at 44% of households in the 2021 Census, then semi-detached houses at 23%.
I live just outside Cwmbrân. Is that covered?
Do you work for landlords in Cwmbrân?
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.
Can mice get in from next door?
In terraces they often travel along the eaves. We seal the gaps on your side and clear out spoiled insulation.
What causes black spots on loft timber?
Usually condensation: warm, moist air from the house reaching cold timber. Fans venting into the loft and blocked eaves are common causes.
