Loft problems we see in Dudley
About half of homes here are semi-detached (48%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.
About one in five of homes here are terraced (19%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.
Worth checking in a Dudley loft: black spots on the rafters or felt, spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof or boxes sitting straight on the insulation. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Dudley: questions
What type of home is most common in Dudley?
Semi-detached houses, at 48% of households in the 2021 Census, then flats at 20%.
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.
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.
Is the loft check free?
Yes, with no obligation.

Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
