What goes wrong in Humberston and New Waltham lofts

With 56% of homes detached, eaves on every side need to stay clear so the roof can breathe.

About a third of homes here are semi-detached (32%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.

51% of homes are owned outright. Long ownership often means a loft nobody has looked in for years, with whatever problems have built up.

Before you book, have a look for spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof, insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists or grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.
