Common loft faults here
With 25% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Lowestoft have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.
Terraced houses are 29% of the housing. In small terrace lofts the eaves get stuffed with insulation, air stops moving and condensation follows. Clearing the eaves usually fixes it.
In Lowestoft, 21% of homes are privately rented. Tenants spotting damp on top-floor ceilings should tell the landlord, who can arrange a check.
Things that tell us a loft needs attention: boxes sitting straight on the insulation, black spots on the rafters or felt or eaves packed so tight no daylight shows. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Do you work for landlords in Lowestoft?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
How do I know if my insulation needs replacing?
It’s thin, grey, damp, stained or has droppings in it, or there’s a musty smell.
Will my house get dusty?
We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.
I live just outside Lowestoft. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Gorleston-on-Sea, Bradwell, Great Yarmouth, Norwich and Taverham and Drayton are covered too. Every town we list in Suffolk.
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.
