Loft problems we see in Aberdare
Around two in five of homes here are terraced (46%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.
About a quarter of homes here are semi-detached (26%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.
Things that tell us a loft needs attention: cables buried out of sight under insulation, boxes sitting straight on the insulation or eaves packed so tight no daylight shows. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.
