Loft insulation removal and repairs in Sudbury

What goes wrong in Sudbury lofts

30% of homes in Sudbury are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.

31% 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.

Before you book, have a look for black spots on the rafters or felt, droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation or grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.
