Loft problems we see in Bishop Auckland

About a third of homes here are semi-detached (34%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.

35% 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.

Things that tell us a loft needs attention: spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof, water marks on the ceiling under the loft or droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

How do I know if my insulation needs replacing?
