What goes wrong in Kettering lofts
With 35% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Kettering have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.
24% of households here live in terraced houses, many with slate roofs and no felt. Those lofts need airflow, so insulation must stop short of the eaves.
23% of households rent privately. Condensation from drying clothes indoors often ends up in the loft; landlords can book a check.
Things that tell us a loft needs attention: spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof, a cold draught round the loft hatch or drips on nails on frosty mornings. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.
