Common loft faults here

11% of homes in Blaby and Whetstone 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.

Worth checking in a Blaby and Whetstone loft: grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring, cables buried out of sight under insulation or drips on nails on frosty mornings. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.
