Common loft faults here

Around two in five of homes in Desborough are detached (42%). The more loft there is, the more it costs when damp or pests spoil the insulation, so it pays to catch problems early.

Semis are 32% of homes in Desborough. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.

If you can get into the loft, look out for grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring, a musty smell as the hatch opens or boxes sitting straight on the insulation. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Desborough: questions

What share of homes in Desborough are houses?

93% are houses or bungalows; 7% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).

Where does new insulation go?

On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.

My surveyor flagged spray foam. Can you remove it?

Yes. We cut it off by hand, leave the timbers visible and give you photos for your lender.

I rent in Desborough and there’s damp in the loft. What do I do?

Tell your landlord, who is responsible for the building. Landlords can book a loft check with us.

Can’t you just put new insulation on top?

Not over damp, soiled or mouldy insulation. That hides the problem. We fix the cause first.
