Loft services in Wigston
Common loft faults here
52% of homes in Wigston are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.
About one in five of homes here are terraced (18%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.
42% of homes are owned outright. Long ownership often means a loft nobody has looked in for years, with whatever problems have built up.
Before you book, have a look for a cold draught round the loft hatch, drips on nails on frosty mornings or boxes sitting straight on the insulation. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Wigston: questions
What type of home is most common in Wigston?
Semi-detached houses, at 52% of households in the 2021 Census, then detached houses at 20%.
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.
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.
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.
I live just outside Wigston. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Oadby, Blaby and Whetstone, Leicester, Enderby and Narborough and Leicester Forest East and Kirby Muxloe are covered too. Every town we list in Leicestershire.
