Loft problems we see in Porth
More than half of homes here are terraced (63%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.
With 19% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Porth have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.
In Porth, 20% of homes are privately rented. Tenants spotting damp on top-floor ceilings should tell the landlord, who can arrange a check.
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 cold draught round the loft hatch, a musty smell as the hatch opens or water marks on the ceiling under the loft. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Will my house get dusty?

It’s thin, grey, damp, stained or has droppings in it, or there’s a musty smell.

Can mice get in from next door?
In terraces they often travel along the eaves. We seal the gaps on your side and clear out spoiled insulation.
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.
