Loft problems we see in Ebbw Vale
Terraced houses are 46% of the housing. In small terrace lofts the eaves get stuffed with insulation, air stops moving and condensation follows. Clearing the eaves usually fixes it.
About a third of homes here are semi-detached (31%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.
If you can get into the loft, look out for black spots on the rafters or felt, grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring or insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Ebbw Vale: questions
What type of home is most common in Ebbw Vale?
Terraced houses, at 46% of households in the 2021 Census, then semi-detached houses at 31%.
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.
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.
Do you work for landlords in Ebbw Vale?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
Will my house get dusty?
We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.
