What goes wrong in Royston lofts
With 45% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Royston 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.
If you can get into the loft, look out for grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring, drips on nails on frosty mornings or spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Royston: questions
What type of home is most common in Royston?
Semi-detached houses, at 45% of households in the 2021 Census, then detached houses at 30%.
Do you work for landlords in Royston?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
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.
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.
