Loft problems we see in Kirkby-in-Ashfield

48% of homes in Kirkby-in-Ashfield 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 eight of homes here are terraced (16%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.

Things that tell us a loft needs attention: grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring, a musty smell as the hatch opens or drips on nails on frosty mornings. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Semi-detached houses, at 48% of households in the 2021 Census, then detached houses at 27%.

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.
