Loft insulation removal and repairs in Skegness

What goes wrong in Skegness lofts

With 23% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Skegness have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.

7% 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.

In Skegness, 32% of homes are privately rented. Tenants spotting damp on top-floor ceilings should tell the landlord, who can arrange a check.

If you can get into the loft, look out for drips on nails on frosty mornings, water marks on the ceiling under the loft or insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.
