Common loft faults here

About a third of homes here are semi-detached (31%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.

Terraced houses are 28% of the housing. In small terrace lofts the eaves get stuffed with insulation, air stops moving and condensation follows. Clearing the eaves usually fixes it.

Worth checking in a Wellington loft: drips on nails on frosty mornings, boxes sitting straight on the insulation or water marks on the ceiling under the loft. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Wellington: questions

What type of home is most common in Wellington?

Semi-detached houses, at 31% of households in the 2021 Census, then terraced houses at 28%.

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.

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.

I live just outside Wellington. Is that covered?

Yes. Nearby places such as Taunton, Tiverton, Honiton, Chard and Bridgwater are covered too. Every town we list in Somerset.

Do you work for landlords in Wellington?

Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
