Loft problems we see in Kempston
42% of homes in Kempston are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.
About one in five of homes here are terraced (22%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.
If you can get into the loft, look out for a cold draught round the loft hatch, eaves packed so tight no daylight shows or drips on nails on frosty mornings. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.
