What goes wrong in Hinckley lofts
About a third of homes here are semi-detached (37%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.
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.
Worth checking in a Hinckley loft: droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation, water marks on the ceiling under the loft or insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Hinckley: questions
What type of home is most common in Hinckley?
Semi-detached houses, at 37% of households in the 2021 Census, then detached houses at 34%.
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 Hinckley. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Earl Shilton, Nuneaton, Bedworth, Enderby and Narborough and Lutterworth are covered too. Every town we list in Leicestershire.
Is the loft check free?
Yes, with no obligation.
Do you work for landlords in Hinckley?
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.
