What goes wrong in Rhyl lofts
About a quarter of homes here are semi-detached (29%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.
Fewer than one in ten of homes here are terraced (10%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.
26% of households rent privately. Condensation from drying clothes indoors often ends up in the loft; landlords can book a check.
Worth checking in a Rhyl loft: droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation, a musty smell as the hatch opens or a cold draught round the loft hatch. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Rhyl: questions
What type of home is most common in Rhyl?
Semi-detached houses, at 29% of households in the 2021 Census, then detached houses at 28%.
Do you work for landlords in Rhyl?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
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.
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.
I live just outside Rhyl. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Prestatyn, Colwyn Bay, West Kirby, Conwy and Llandudno are covered too. Every town we list in Denbighshire.
Will my house get dusty?
We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.
