Loft problems we see in Leyland
About a third of homes here are semi-detached (38%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.
22% of households here live in terraced houses, many with slate roofs and no felt. Those lofts need airflow, so insulation must stop short of the eaves.
Before you book, have a look for eaves packed so tight no daylight shows, cables buried out of sight under insulation or a cold draught round the loft hatch. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Leyland: questions
What type of home is most common in Leyland?
Semi-detached houses, at 38% of households in the 2021 Census, then detached houses at 28%.
What causes black spots on loft timber?
Usually condensation: warm, moist air from the house reaching cold timber. Fans venting into the loft and blocked eaves are common causes.
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.
I live just outside Leyland. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Euxton, Bamber Bridge, Penwortham, Longton and Chorley are covered too. Every town we list in Lancashire.
