Loft problems we see in Ulverston

37% of homes in Ulverston are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.

32% 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.

43% of households own outright, so plenty of lofts here were insulated decades ago. Old insulation that has settled, got dusty or been nested in is worth replacing.

Before you book, have a look for insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists, drips on nails on frosty mornings or droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

My loft insulation is decades old. Does it need replacing?

If it’s dry and clean, a top-up may be enough. If it’s dusty, damp or soiled, it should come out.

Is the loft check free?

Yes, with no obligation.

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.

Will my house get dusty?

We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.
