Loft insulation removal and repairs in Tonypandy

Loft problems we see in Tonypandy

72% of homes in Tonypandy are terraces. Older terrace lofts often have no roof felt, gaps through the party walls and insulation pushed into the eaves, which is a recipe for damp timber.

Semi-detached houses make up 13%. A frequent find: a bathroom fan blowing into the loft and black spots on the rafters above it.

Private renting is common in Tonypandy (23%). The loft is easy for landlords to forget until damp shows through a ceiling.

Things that tell us a loft needs attention: drips on nails on frosty mornings, grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring or a musty smell as the hatch opens. Any one of them is worth a free check.
