What goes wrong in Willenhall lofts
Around two in five of homes here are semi-detached (47%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.
Terraced houses are 20% 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.
If you can get into the loft, look out for insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists, spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof or water marks on the ceiling under the loft. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Willenhall: questions
What type of home is most common in Willenhall?
Semi-detached houses, at 47% of households in the 2021 Census, then terraced 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.
I live just outside Willenhall. Is that covered?
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.
Do you work for landlords in Willenhall?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
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.
