Loft problems we see in Flitwick
36% of homes in Flitwick are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.
About a quarter of homes here are terraced (23%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.
Signs that something is wrong up there include spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof, boxes sitting straight on the insulation or insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

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.
