Loft services in Houghton Regis
Common loft faults here
Terraced houses are 42% of the housing. In small terrace lofts the eaves get stuffed with insulation, air stops moving and condensation follows. Clearing the eaves usually fixes it.
About a third of homes here are semi-detached (33%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.
If you can get into the loft, look out for spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof, droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation or grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Houghton Regis: questions
What type of home is most common in Houghton Regis?
Terraced houses, at 42% of households in the 2021 Census, then semi-detached houses at 33%.
Can mice get in from next door?
In terraces they often travel along the eaves. We seal the gaps on your side and clear out spoiled insulation.
Will my house get dusty?
We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.
I live just outside Houghton Regis. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Dunstable, Luton, Leighton Buzzard, Flitwick and Tring are covered too. Every town we list in Central Bedfordshire.
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.
