Loft problems we see in Thorne
With 49% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Thorne have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.
About one in five of homes here are terraced (19%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.
Worth checking in a Thorne loft: grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring, boxes sitting straight on the insulation or a cold draught round the loft hatch. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Thorne: questions
What type of home is most common in Thorne?
Semi-detached houses, at 49% of households in the 2021 Census, then detached houses at 21%.
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.
Do you work for landlords in Thorne?
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.
I live just outside Thorne. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Dunscroft and Hatfield, Kirk Sandall and Edenthorpe, Armthorpe, Goole and Doncaster are covered too. Every town we list in Doncaster.
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.
