What goes wrong in Bamber Bridge lofts

40% of homes in Bamber Bridge are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.

20% of households here live in terraced houses, many with slate roofs and no felt. Those lofts need airflow, so insulation must stop short of the eaves.

If you can get into the loft, look out for insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists, a cold draught round the loft hatch or drips on nails on frosty mornings. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.
