Loft problems we see in Sandy
32% of homes in Sandy 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 32% 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 water marks on the ceiling under the loft, insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists or drips on nails on frosty mornings. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Sandy: questions
What type of home is most common in Sandy?
Semi-detached houses, at 32% of households in the 2021 Census, then terraced houses at 32%.
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.
I live just outside Sandy. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Biggleswade, St Neots, Bedford, Kempston and Stotfold are covered too. Every town we list in Central Bedfordshire.
Will my house get dusty?
We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.
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.
Do you work for landlords in Sandy?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
