Loft services in Calne
Common loft faults here
Semi-detached houses make up 31%. A frequent find: a bathroom fan blowing into the loft and black spots on the rafters above it.
With 29% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Calne. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.
Worth checking in a Calne loft: a cold draught round the loft hatch, cables buried out of sight under insulation or a musty smell as the hatch opens. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.
