What goes wrong in Witham lofts
About a quarter of homes here are semi-detached (29%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.
About a third of homes here are terraced (38%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.
If you can get into the loft, look out for boxes sitting straight on the insulation, water marks on the ceiling under the loft or black spots on the rafters or felt. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.
