Common loft faults here
With 45% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Hoyland have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.
About a quarter of homes here are terraced (26%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.
Worth checking in a Hoyland loft: spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof, a cold draught round the loft hatch or grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.
