What goes wrong in Yate lofts

Terraced houses are 40% 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.

About a quarter of homes here are semi-detached (29%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.

Things that tell us a loft needs attention: grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring, water marks on the ceiling under the loft or droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Yate: questions

What type of home is most common in Yate?

Terraced houses, at 40% of households in the 2021 Census, then semi-detached houses at 29%.

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.

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.

I live just outside Yate. Is that covered?

Yes. Nearby places such as Frampton Cotterell and Winterbourne, Bradley Stoke, Stoke Gifford, Kingswood and Fishponds and Thornbury are covered too. Every town we list in South Gloucestershire.
