Loft problems we see in Farnworth

Around two in five of homes here are semi-detached (45%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.

32% 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.

Worth checking in a Farnworth loft: spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof, a cold draught round the loft hatch or eaves packed so tight no daylight shows. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Do you work for landlords in Farnworth?

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.

What causes black spots on loft timber?

Usually condensation: warm, moist air from the house reaching cold timber. Fans venting into the loft and blocked eaves are common causes.
