What goes wrong in Great Malvern lofts
About a third of homes here are semi-detached (32%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.
Terraced houses are 13% of the housing. In small terrace lofts the eaves get stuffed with insulation, air stops moving and condensation follows. Clearing the eaves usually fixes it.
42% of homes are owned outright. Long ownership often means a loft nobody has looked in for years, with whatever problems have built up.
Worth checking in a Great Malvern loft: a cold draught round the loft hatch, insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists or black spots on the rafters or felt. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Great Malvern: questions
What type of home is most common in Great Malvern?
Semi-detached houses, at 32% of households in the 2021 Census, then detached houses at 31%.
I live just outside Great Malvern. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Worcester, Tewkesbury, Droitwich Spa, Bishop's Cleeve and Evesham are covered too. Every town we list in Worcestershire.
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.
Do you work for landlords in Great Malvern?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
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.
Is the loft check free?
Yes, with no obligation.
