Common loft faults here
52% of homes in Rawmarsh are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.
Terraced houses are 21% 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.
Signs that something is wrong up there include eaves packed so tight no daylight shows, black spots on the rafters or felt or droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

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.
What causes black spots on loft timber?
Usually condensation: warm, moist air from the house reaching cold timber. Fans venting into the loft and blocked eaves are common causes.
