What goes wrong in Colne lofts

With 60% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Colne. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.

19% of the housing in Colne is semi-detached. When we open those hatches we often find cables buried under old insulation and eaves packed tight.

22% of households rent privately. Condensation from drying clothes indoors often ends up in the loft; landlords can book a check.

Things that tell us a loft needs attention: droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation, cables buried out of sight under insulation or grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring. Any one of them is worth a free check.

Can’t you just put new insulation on top?

Not over damp, soiled or mouldy insulation. That hides the problem. We fix the cause first.
