What goes wrong in Newport lofts
32% of homes in Newport are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.
34% 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.
Things that tell us a loft needs attention: spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof, eaves packed so tight no daylight shows or grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Newport: questions
What type of home is most common in Newport?
Terraced houses, at 34% of households in the 2021 Census, then semi-detached houses at 32%.
Will my house get dusty?
We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.
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 Newport. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Cwmbrân, Risca, Pontypool, Caerphilly and Cardiff are covered too.
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.
Do you work for landlords in Newport?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
