Common loft faults here

With 30% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Tiverton have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.

31% 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.

23% of households rent privately. Condensation from drying clothes indoors often ends up in the loft; landlords can book a check.

Things that tell us a loft needs attention: water marks on the ceiling under the loft, droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation or spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.
