What goes wrong in Wells lofts
36% of homes in Wells are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.
26% 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.
46% 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.
Worth checking in a Wells loft: insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists, boxes sitting straight on the insulation or grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Semi-detached houses, at 36% of households in the 2021 Census, then terraced houses at 26%.
Do you work for landlords in Wells?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
There are boards nailed straight onto my joists. Is that bad?

I live just outside Wells. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Street, Midsomer Norton, Frome, Burnham-on-Sea and Keynsham are covered too. Every town we list in Somerset.
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.
Will my house get dusty?
We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.
