Common loft faults here

52% of homes in Swallownest and Aston are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.

About one in eight of homes here are terraced (13%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.

Things that tell us a loft needs attention: black spots on the rafters or felt, insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists or boxes sitting straight on the insulation. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.
