What goes wrong in Honiton lofts
About a third of homes here are semi-detached (31%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.
About a quarter of homes here are terraced (24%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.
43% of households own outright, so plenty of lofts here were insulated decades ago. Old insulation that has settled, got dusty or been nested in is worth replacing.
Things that tell us a loft needs attention: grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring, a cold draught round the loft hatch or a musty smell as the hatch opens. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Honiton: questions
What type of home is most common in Honiton?

I live just outside Honiton. Is that covered?
Do you work for landlords in Honiton?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
Will my house get dusty?
We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.
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.
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.
