What goes wrong in Ely lofts

26% of the housing in Ely is semi-detached. When we open those hatches we often find cables buried under old insulation and eaves packed tight.

26% of homes in Ely 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.

Private renting is common in Ely (20%). The loft is easy for landlords to forget until damp shows through a ceiling.

Signs that something is wrong up there include insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists, eaves packed so tight no daylight shows or droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation. Any one of them is worth a free check.
