Loft insulation is one of the most effective ways to reduce heat loss and improve energy efficiency, but over time, even the best insulation materials can degrade. If you're in Stafford and suspect your insulation may not be doing its job anymore, here’s how to tell—and what you can do about it.
🧊 Signs Your Loft Insulation May Be Failing
-
Cold Rooms Upstairs
If the rooms directly under your roof feel noticeably colder than the rest of the house, it could be due to insulation that's compressed, damp, or insufficient. -
Rising Energy Bills
When heat escapes through the roof, your heating system has to work harder. A spike in your energy usage may indicate that your loft insulation is no longer effective. -
Condensation in the Roof Space
Damp insulation not only loses its insulating properties but can also contribute to mould and decay in roof timbers. Condensation is a warning sign of poor airflow and compromised insulation. -
Uneven Temperature Distribution
If the heat doesn’t stay consistent throughout your home, it's worth checking whether your insulation is patchy or missing in areas.
