What goes wrong in Bolton lofts
About a third of homes here are semi-detached (31%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.
About a third of homes here are terraced (37%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.
In Bolton, 20% of homes are privately rented. Tenants spotting damp on top-floor ceilings should tell the landlord, who can arrange a check.
Signs that something is wrong up there include a cold draught round the loft hatch, drips on nails on frosty mornings or eaves packed so tight no daylight shows. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.
