Loft problems we see in Potters Bar
Around two in five of homes here are semi-detached (47%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.
Terraced houses are 13% 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 homes are owned outright. Long ownership often means a loft nobody has looked in for years, with whatever problems have built up.
If you can get into the loft, look out for grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring, a musty smell as the hatch opens or insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.
