What goes wrong in Euxton lofts
35% of homes in Euxton are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.
17% of households here live in terraced houses, many with slate roofs and no felt. Those lofts need airflow, so insulation must stop short of the eaves.
Things that tell us a loft needs attention: cables buried out of sight under insulation, insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists or spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Euxton: questions

Detached houses, at 35% of households in the 2021 Census, then semi-detached houses at 35%.
Will my house get dusty?
We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.
How do I know if my insulation needs replacing?
It’s thin, grey, damp, stained or has droppings in it, or there’s a musty smell.
I live just outside Euxton. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Chorley, Leyland, Bamber Bridge, Penwortham and Longton are covered too. Every town we list in Lancashire.
There are boards nailed straight onto my joists. Is that bad?
It usually means the insulation underneath is squashed. We lift the boards, fix the insulation and put storage back on a raised floor.

Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
