What goes wrong in Lincoln lofts
30% of homes in Lincoln are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.
30% 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.
In Lincoln, 28% of homes are privately rented. Tenants spotting damp on top-floor ceilings should tell the landlord, who can arrange a check.
Before you book, have a look for boxes sitting straight on the insulation, a cold draught round the loft hatch or grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Lincoln: questions
What type of home is most common in Lincoln?
Semi-detached houses, at 30% of households in the 2021 Census, then terraced houses at 30%.
Is the loft check free?
Yes, with no obligation.
I live just outside Lincoln. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as North Hykeham, Newark-on-Trent, Balderton, Gainsborough and Sleaford are covered too. Every town we list in Lincolnshire.
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.
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.
Do you work for landlords in Lincoln?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
