Damp, foam or old insulation? Fixed in Heswall

What goes wrong in Heswall lofts

Semis are 48% of homes in Heswall. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.

With 6% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Heswall. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.

With 51% owning outright, many people in Heswall have lived with the same loft for years. Insulation level with the joists is a sign it’s time to look.

Worth checking in a Heswall loft: a cold draught round the loft hatch, a musty smell as the hatch opens or drips on nails on frosty mornings. Any one of them is worth a free check.
