What goes wrong in Leighton Buzzard lofts
31% of the housing in Leighton Buzzard is semi-detached. When we open those hatches we often find cables buried under old insulation and eaves packed tight.
26% of homes in Leighton Buzzard 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.
Before you book, have a look for spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof, eaves packed so tight no daylight shows or grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring. Any one of them is worth a free check.
