What goes wrong in Liskeard lofts
About a quarter of homes here are semi-detached (28%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.
About a third of homes here are terraced (32%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.
Private renting is common in Liskeard (24%). The loft is easy for landlords to forget until damp shows through a ceiling.
Things that tell us a loft needs attention: insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists, droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation or grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Liskeard: questions
What type of home is most common in Liskeard?
Terraced houses, at 32% of households in the 2021 Census, then semi-detached houses at 28%.
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.
Is the loft check free?
Yes, with no obligation.
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.
I live just outside Liskeard. Is that covered?
