What goes wrong in Baildon lofts
Semis are 40% of homes in Baildon. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.
With 16% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Baildon. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.
Many households here (42%) own outright. Lofts that were insulated back when they moved in are often thin, dusty and due a look.
Signs that something is wrong up there include water marks on the ceiling under the loft, black spots on the rafters or felt or spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.
