Loft problems we see in Barry
Semis are 31% of homes in Barry. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.
Terraces account for 33% of Barry’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.
Signs that something is wrong up there include boxes sitting straight on the insulation, cables buried out of sight under insulation or eaves packed so tight no daylight shows. Any one of them is worth a free check.
