Loft problems we see in Swadlincote
With 42% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Swadlincote have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.
Terraced houses are 20% 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.
Signs that something is wrong up there include drips on nails on frosty mornings, black spots on the rafters or felt or insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Swadlincote: questions
What type of home is most common in Swadlincote?
Semi-detached houses, at 42% of households in the 2021 Census, then detached houses at 31%.
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.
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.
