Loft problems we see in North Hykeham

About half of homes in North Hykeham are detached (51%). The more loft there is, the more it costs when damp or pests spoil the insulation, so it pays to catch problems early.

With 32% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in North Hykeham have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.

40% of households own outright, so plenty of lofts here were insulated decades ago. Old insulation that has settled, got dusty or been nested in is worth replacing.

If you can get into the loft, look out for a musty smell as the hatch opens, grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring or eaves packed so tight no daylight shows. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

What type of home is most common in North Hykeham?

Detached houses, at 51% of households in the 2021 Census, then semi-detached houses at 32%.

My surveyor flagged spray foam. Can you remove it?

Yes. We cut it off by hand, leave the timbers visible and give you photos for your lender.

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.

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.

I live just outside North Hykeham. Is that covered?

Yes. Nearby places such as Lincoln, Newark-on-Trent, Balderton, Sleaford and Gainsborough are covered too. Every town we list in Lincolnshire.

Will my house get dusty?
