Common loft faults here

Semis are 35% of homes in Royal Sutton Coldfield. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.

Terraces account for 9% of Royal Sutton Coldfield’s homes. Where party walls stop short in the loft, warm air, smells and pests pass between houses; we close the gaps on your side.

Many households here (42%) own outright. Lofts that were insulated back when they moved in are often thin, dusty and due a look.

If you can get into the loft, look out for drips on nails on frosty mornings, insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists or spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Can’t you just put new insulation on top?

Not over damp, soiled or mouldy insulation. That hides the problem. We fix the cause first.

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.
