Common loft faults here

38% of the housing in Berwick-upon-Tweed is semi-detached. When we open those hatches we often find cables buried under old insulation and eaves packed tight.

26% of homes in Berwick-upon-Tweed are terraces. Older terrace lofts often have no roof felt, gaps through the party walls and insulation pushed into the eaves, which is a recipe for damp timber.

With 40% owning outright, many people in Berwick-upon-Tweed have lived with the same loft for years. Insulation level with the joists is a sign it’s time to look.

Before you book, have a look for water marks on the ceiling under the loft, a musty smell as the hatch opens or drips on nails on frosty mornings. Any one of them is worth a free check.
