Common loft faults here

41% of the housing in Forest Town is semi-detached. When we open those hatches we often find cables buried under old insulation and eaves packed tight.

15% of homes in Forest Town 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.

Signs that something is wrong up there include droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation, spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof or black spots on the rafters or felt. Any one of them is worth a free check.
