What goes wrong in Hexham lofts

About a quarter of homes here are semi-detached (30%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.

22% 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.

43% 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 Hexham loft: boxes sitting straight on the insulation, a musty smell as the hatch opens or eaves packed so tight no daylight shows. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Hexham: questions

What type of home is most common in Hexham?

Semi-detached houses, at 30% of households in the 2021 Census, then detached houses at 25%.

My loft insulation is decades old. Does it need replacing?

If it’s dry and clean, a top-up may be enough. If it’s dusty, damp or soiled, it should come out.

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.
