Loft problems we see in Saltash

With 29% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Saltash have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.

About a third of homes here are terraced (32%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.

41% of households own outright, so plenty of lofts here were insulated decades ago. Old insulation that has settled, got dusty or been nested in is worth replacing.

If you can get into the loft, look out for a musty smell as the hatch opens, insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists or spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.
