What goes wrong in Hindley lofts

Semis are 47% of homes in Hindley. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.

27% of homes in Hindley 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.

Things that tell us a loft needs attention: droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation, a musty smell as the hatch opens or black spots on the rafters or felt. Any one of them is worth a free check.
