Loft problems we see in Gloucester
39% of homes in Gloucester 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 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.
In Gloucester, 21% of homes are privately rented. Tenants spotting damp on top-floor ceilings should tell the landlord, who can arrange a check.
If you can get into the loft, look out for cables buried out of sight under insulation, drips on nails on frosty mornings or droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Gloucester: questions
What type of home is most common in Gloucester?
Semi-detached houses, at 39% of households in the 2021 Census, then flats at 21%.
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.
Will my house get dusty?
We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.
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.
I live just outside Gloucester. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Churchdown, Brockworth, Quedgeley and Hardwicke, Cheltenham and Stroud are covered too. Every town we list in Gloucestershire.
