About a third of homes here are terraced (38%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.

Signs that something is wrong up there include spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof, black spots on the rafters or felt or grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Leigh: questions
What type of home is most common in Leigh?
Terraced houses, at 38% of households in the 2021 Census, then semi-detached houses at 37%.
How do I know if my insulation needs replacing?
It’s thin, grey, damp, stained or has droppings in it, or there’s a musty smell.
I live just outside Leigh. Is that covered?
There are boards nailed straight onto my joists. Is that bad?
It usually means the insulation underneath is squashed. We lift the boards, fix the insulation and put storage back on a raised floor.
Do you work for landlords in Leigh?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
Will my house get dusty?
We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.
