Common loft faults here

With 38% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Gomersal and Birkenshaw have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.

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 a musty smell as the hatch opens, 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.

Semi-detached houses, at 38% of households in the 2021 Census, then detached houses at 30%.

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.
