What goes wrong in Maesteg lofts
47% of homes in Maesteg are terraces. Older terrace lofts often have no roof felt, gaps through the party walls and insulation pushed into the eaves, which is a recipe for damp timber.
31% of the housing in Maesteg is semi-detached. When we open those hatches we often find cables buried under old insulation and eaves packed tight.
Many households here (41%) own outright. Lofts that were insulated back when they moved in are often thin, dusty and due a look.
Signs that something is wrong up there include drips on nails on frosty mornings, cables buried out of sight under insulation or spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Maesteg: questions
What share of homes in Maesteg are houses?
91% are houses or bungalows; 8% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
Do you work outside Maesteg?
Can I keep storing things in the loft?
Yes, on a floor raised above the insulation so it isn’t squashed.
My loft insulation is decades old. Does it need replacing?
If it’s dry and clean, a top-up may be enough. If it’s dusty, damp or soiled, it should come out.
Can’t you just put new insulation on top?
Not over damp, soiled or mouldy insulation. That hides the problem. We fix the cause first.
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
