Loft problems we see in Huntingdon
With 24% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Huntingdon have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.
About a quarter of homes here are terraced (28%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.
23% of households rent privately. Condensation from drying clothes indoors often ends up in the loft; landlords can book a check.
Worth checking in a Huntingdon loft: drips on nails on frosty mornings, cables buried out of sight under insulation or grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Huntingdon: questions
What type of home is most common in Huntingdon?
Detached houses, at 28% of households in the 2021 Census, then terraced houses at 28%.
Do you work for landlords in Huntingdon?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
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.
I live just outside Huntingdon. Is that covered?
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.
