What goes wrong in Altrincham lofts

42% of the housing in Altrincham is semi-detached. When we open those hatches we often find cables buried under old insulation and eaves packed tight.

Terraces account for 20% of Altrincham’s homes. Where party walls stop short in the loft, warm air, smells and pests pass between houses; we close the gaps on your side.

If you can get into the loft, look out for water marks on the ceiling under the loft, a musty smell as the hatch opens or spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof. Any one of them is worth a free check.
