What goes wrong in Sawbridgeworth lofts
About a quarter of homes here are semi-detached (28%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.
20% 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.
Worth checking in a Sawbridgeworth loft: 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. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Sawbridgeworth: questions
What type of home is most common in Sawbridgeworth?
Detached houses, at 29% of households in the 2021 Census, then semi-detached houses at 28%.
I live just outside Sawbridgeworth. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Harlow, Bishop's Stortford, Ware, Hoddesdon and Epping are covered too. Every town we list in Hertfordshire.
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.
Do you work for landlords in Sawbridgeworth?
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.
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.
