Common loft faults here

With 29% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Devizes have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.

Terraced houses are 26% of the housing. In small terrace lofts the eaves get stuffed with insulation, air stops moving and condensation follows. Clearing the eaves usually fixes it.

If you can get into the loft, look out for drips on nails on frosty mornings, black spots on the rafters or felt or eaves packed so tight no daylight shows. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.
