Loft insulation can usually cost several hundred pounds
Whenever we do a survey we check the loft insulation and if you qualify we will happily add the loft insulation as to the required minimum of 270 mm for FREE
A poorly insulated loft can lead to several problems:

1. Heat Loss
- Increased Energy Bills: More energy is required to heat the home, leading to higher costs.
- **Cold Upper Floors**: Rooms below the loft can become colder, making the home uncomfortable.

2. Condensation and Damp
- Moisture Build-up: Warm air from the home can rise and condense in the loft, leading to dampness.
- Mold Growth: Damp conditions promote mold, which can cause respiratory issues and allergies.

3. Structural Damage
- Timber Rot: Persistent damp can cause wooden beams and other structures to rot, compromising the building’s integrity.
- **Damage to Stored Items**: Any items stored in the loft can be damaged by dampness and mold.

4. Pest Infestations
- Rodents and Insects: A damp, uninsulated loft can attract pests, which can cause further damage and health risks.

5. Reduced Property Value:
- Lower Energy Efficiency: Poor insulation can reduce the home’s energy efficiency rating, potentially lowering its market value.

Mitigation:
- Improve Insulation: Properly insulate the loft to retain heat.
- Ventilation: Ensure good ventilation to reduce moisture buildup.
- **Regular Inspections**: Check for signs of damp, mold, and pests regularly.
- Seal Gaps: Seal any gaps or cracks to prevent heat loss and moisture ingress.
