Common loft faults here
With 34% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Tewkesbury have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.
24% 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.
Worth checking in a Tewkesbury loft: grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring, eaves packed so tight no daylight shows or a musty smell as the hatch opens. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Tewkesbury: questions
What type of home is most common in Tewkesbury?
Semi-detached houses, at 34% of households in the 2021 Census, then terraced houses at 24%.
I live just outside Tewkesbury. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Bishop's Cleeve, Cheltenham, Churchdown, Gloucester and Brockworth are covered too. Every town we list in Gloucestershire.
Do you work for landlords in Tewkesbury?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
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.
Is the loft check free?
Yes, with no obligation.
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.
