Common loft faults here

42% of the housing in Chadderton is semi-detached. When we open those hatches we often find cables buried under old insulation and eaves packed tight.

With 35% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Chadderton. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.

Before you book, have a look for black spots on the rafters or felt, droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation or spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof. Any one of them is worth a free check.
