Loft problems we see in Failsworth
With 48% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Failsworth have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.
34% 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.
Private renting is common in Failsworth (20%). The loft is easy for landlords to forget until damp shows through a ceiling.
Worth checking in a Failsworth loft: grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring, a cold draught round the loft hatch or black spots on the rafters or felt. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Failsworth: questions
What type of home is most common in Failsworth?
Semi-detached houses, at 48% of households in the 2021 Census, then terraced houses at 34%.
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.
Will my house get dusty?
We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.
I live just outside Failsworth. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Droylsden, Chadderton, Audenshaw, Ashton-under-Lyne and Manchester are covered too. Every town we list in Oldham.
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.
Do you work for landlords in Failsworth?
