Loft problems we see in Audenshaw
Semis are 50% of homes in Audenshaw. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.
27% of homes in Audenshaw are terraces. Older terrace lofts often have no roof felt, gaps through the party walls and insulation pushed into the eaves, which is a recipe for damp timber.
Things that tell us a loft needs attention: a musty smell as the hatch opens, grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring or black spots on the rafters or felt. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Audenshaw: questions
What share of homes in Audenshaw are houses?
90% are houses or bungalows; 11% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
Can’t you just put new insulation on top?
Not over damp, soiled or mouldy insulation. That hides the problem. We fix the cause first.
How long does a loft job take?
A check takes under an hour. Removal and new insulation usually take one or two days.
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
Can I keep storing things in the loft?
Yes, on a floor raised above the insulation so it isn’t squashed.
