Loft problems we see in Petersfield
23% of homes in Petersfield are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.
Terraced houses are 23% 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.
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.
Signs that something is wrong up there include droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation, grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring or cables buried out of sight under insulation. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.
