What goes wrong in Batley lofts
36% of the housing in Batley is semi-detached. When we open those hatches we often find cables buried under old insulation and eaves packed tight.
With 33% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Batley. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.
Private renting is common in Batley (20%). The loft is easy for landlords to forget until damp shows through a ceiling.
Worth checking in a Batley loft: black spots on the rafters or felt, boxes sitting straight on the insulation or a musty smell as the hatch opens. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.
