What goes wrong in Gorseinon lofts
45% of homes in Gorseinon 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 (17%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.
Things that tell us a loft needs attention: water marks on the ceiling under the loft, boxes sitting straight on the insulation or a cold draught round the loft hatch. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Gorseinon: questions
What type of home is most common in Gorseinon?
Semi-detached houses, at 45% of households in the 2021 Census, then detached houses at 24%.
Do you work for landlords in Gorseinon?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
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.
I live just outside Gorseinon. Is that covered?
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.
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.
