Loft services in Sedgley
Common loft faults here
With 45% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Sedgley have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.
Terraced houses are 14% 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.
42% 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.
Things that tell us a loft needs attention: droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation, spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof or cables buried out of sight under insulation. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Sedgley: questions
What type of home is most common in Sedgley?
Semi-detached houses, at 45% of households in the 2021 Census, then detached houses at 27%.
I live just outside Sedgley. Is that covered?
My loft insulation is decades old. Does it need replacing?
If it’s dry and clean, a top-up may be enough. If it’s dusty, damp or soiled, it should come out.
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.
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.
