What goes wrong in Barnoldswick lofts
Terraced houses are 58% of the housing. In small terrace lofts the eaves get stuffed with insulation, air stops moving and condensation follows. Clearing the eaves usually fixes it.
About one in five of homes here are semi-detached (21%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.
Private renting is common in Barnoldswick (22%). The loft is easy for landlords to forget until damp shows through a ceiling.
Before you book, have a look for black spots on the rafters or felt, boxes sitting straight on the insulation or droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.
