What goes wrong in Chorley lofts
Semis are 32% of homes in Chorley. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.
33% of homes in Chorley are terraces. Older terrace lofts often have no roof felt, gaps through the party walls and insulation pushed into the eaves, which is a recipe for damp timber.
If you can get into the loft, look out for spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof, insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists or droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation. Any one of them is worth a free check.
