What goes wrong in Stourbridge lofts
41% of homes in Stourbridge 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 17% 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.
40% of homes are owned outright. Long ownership often means a loft nobody has looked in for years, with whatever problems have built up.
If you can get into the loft, look out for black spots on the rafters or felt, boxes sitting straight on the insulation or eaves packed so tight no daylight shows. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Stourbridge: questions
What type of home is most common in Stourbridge?
Semi-detached houses, at 41% of households in the 2021 Census, then detached houses at 26%.
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 Stourbridge?
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 Stourbridge. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Brierley Hill, Kingswinford, Halesowen, Cradley Heath and Dudley are covered too. Every town we list in Dudley.
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.
