Loft problems we see in Garforth
More than half of homes here are semi-detached (59%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.
About one in eight of homes here are terraced (12%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.
44% of homes are owned outright. Long ownership often means a loft nobody has looked in for years, with whatever problems have built up.
Signs that something is wrong up there include grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring, eaves packed so tight no daylight shows or spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Garforth: questions
What type of home is most common in Garforth?
Semi-detached houses, at 59% of households in the 2021 Census, then detached houses at 21%.
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.
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.
Is the loft check free?
Yes, with no obligation.
My loft insulation is decades old. Does it need replacing?
If it’s dry and clean, a top-up may be enough. If it’s dusty, damp or soiled, it should come out.
