Damp, foam or old insulation? Fixed in Wombourne

What goes wrong in Wombourne lofts

With 42% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Wombourne have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.

Terraced houses are 9% 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.

45% of homes are owned outright. Long ownership often means a loft nobody has looked in for years, with whatever problems have built up.

Worth checking in a Wombourne loft: a musty smell as the hatch opens, droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation or drips on nails on frosty mornings. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.
