Loft services in Pontypool
Common loft faults here
With 34% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Pontypool have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.
33% 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: black spots on the rafters or felt, drips on nails on frosty mornings or droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.
