Loft problems we see in Raunds
With 39% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Raunds have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.
19% 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, grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring or eaves packed so tight no daylight shows. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Raunds: questions
What type of home is most common in Raunds?
Semi-detached houses, at 39% of households in the 2021 Census, then detached houses at 36%.
Is the loft check free?
Yes, with no obligation.
Will my house get dusty?
We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.
There are boards nailed straight onto my joists. Is that bad?
It usually means the insulation underneath is squashed. We lift the boards, fix the insulation and put storage back on a raised floor.

Yes. Nearby places such as Rushden, Burton Latimer, Wellingborough, Kettering and Corby are covered too. Every town we list in North Northamptonshire.
How do I know if my insulation needs replacing?
It’s thin, grey, damp, stained or has droppings in it, or there’s a musty smell.
