Common loft faults here

With 44% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Woodley have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.

16% 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.

40% 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.

Before you book, have a look for grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring, cables buried out of sight under insulation or black spots on the rafters or felt. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Woodley: questions

What type of home is most common in Woodley?

Semi-detached houses, at 44% of households in the 2021 Census, then detached houses at 27%.

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.

I live just outside Woodley. Is that covered?

Yes. Nearby places such as Reading, Caversham, Wokingham, Henley-on-Thames and Bracknell are covered too. Every town we list in Wokingham.

Will my house get dusty?

We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.

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.
