Loft problems we see in Ince-in-Makerfield

Semis are 52% of homes in Ince-in-Makerfield. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.

29% of homes in Ince-in-Makerfield 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.

If you can get into the loft, look out for drips on nails on frosty mornings, spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof or black spots on the rafters or felt. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Can I keep storing things in the loft?

Can’t you just put new insulation on top?

Not over damp, soiled or mouldy insulation. That hides the problem. We fix the cause first.
