Loft services in Tredegar
Common loft faults here
43% 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.
With 34% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Tredegar have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.
Things that tell us a loft needs attention: eaves packed so tight no daylight shows, a musty smell as the hatch opens or grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Tredegar: questions
What type of home is most common in Tredegar?
Terraced houses, at 43% of households in the 2021 Census, then semi-detached houses at 34%.
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.
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.
