What goes wrong in Grimsby lofts
32% of homes in Grimsby are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.
39% of households here live in terraced houses, many with slate roofs and no felt. Those lofts need airflow, so insulation must stop short of the eaves.
25% of households rent privately. Condensation from drying clothes indoors often ends up in the loft; landlords can book a check.
If you can get into the loft, look out for a cold draught round the loft hatch, spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof or water marks on the ceiling under the loft. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

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.
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.
