Common loft faults here

With 44% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Port Talbot have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.

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.

Before you book, have a look for insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists, drips on nails on frosty mornings or spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.
