What goes wrong in Bramhall lofts

With 49% of homes detached, eaves on every side need to stay clear so the roof can breathe.

With 31% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Bramhall have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.

50% of homes are owned outright. Long ownership often means a loft nobody has looked in for years, with whatever problems have built up.

If you can get into the loft, look out for drips on nails on frosty mornings, eaves packed so tight no daylight shows or spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

My surveyor flagged spray foam. Can you remove it?

My loft insulation is decades old. Does it need replacing?

If it’s dry and clean, a top-up may be enough. If it’s dusty, damp or soiled, it should come out.

I live just outside Bramhall. Is that covered?
