Loft problems we see in Harpenden

With 38% of homes detached, eaves on every side need to stay clear so the roof can breathe.

27% of homes in Harpenden are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.

Things that tell us a loft needs attention: insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists, water marks on the ceiling under the loft or a cold draught round the loft hatch. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.
