Loft problems we see in Sarn
40% of homes in Sarn are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.
25% 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 insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists, a cold draught round the loft hatch or eaves packed so tight no daylight shows. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Sarn: questions
What type of home is most common in Sarn?
Semi-detached houses, at 40% of households in the 2021 Census, then terraced houses at 25%.
Do you work for landlords in Sarn?
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.
I live just outside Sarn. Is that covered?
What causes black spots on loft timber?
Usually condensation: warm, moist air from the house reaching cold timber. Fans venting into the loft and blocked eaves are common causes.
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.
