What goes wrong in Taunton lofts

30% of homes in Taunton 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 27% 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.

In Taunton, 22% 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 a musty smell as the hatch opens, drips on nails on frosty mornings or insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

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.

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.

Will my house get dusty?

We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.
