Loft services in Loughborough
Common loft faults here
With 36% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Loughborough have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.
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.
25% of households rent privately. Condensation from drying clothes indoors often ends up in the loft; landlords can book a check.
If you can get into the loft, look out for cables buried out of sight under insulation, black spots on the rafters or felt or grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Loughborough: questions
What type of home is most common in Loughborough?
Semi-detached houses, at 36% of households in the 2021 Census, then detached houses at 23%.
Is the loft check free?
Yes, with no obligation.
Do you work for landlords in Loughborough?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
I live just outside Loughborough. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Shepshed, Mountsorrel, Whitwick, Coalville and Birstall are covered too. Every town we list in Leicestershire.
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.
