What goes wrong in Burton Latimer lofts
39% of homes in Burton Latimer are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.
About one in five of homes here are terraced (22%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.
Worth checking in a Burton Latimer loft: black spots on the rafters or felt, drips on nails on frosty mornings or insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.
