Common loft faults here

More than half of homes here are semi-detached (60%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.

Terraced houses are 17% of the housing. In small terrace lofts the eaves get stuffed with insulation, air stops moving and condensation follows. Clearing the eaves usually fixes it.

43% of households own outright, so plenty of lofts here were insulated decades ago. Old insulation that has settled, got dusty or been nested in is worth replacing.

Signs that something is wrong up there include grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring, spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof or droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Little Lever: questions

What type of home is most common in Little Lever?

Semi-detached houses, at 60% of households in the 2021 Census, then terraced houses at 17%.

I live just outside Little Lever. Is that covered?

Yes. Nearby places such as Kearsley, Farnworth, Radcliffe, Little Hulton and Bolton are covered too. Every town we list in Bolton.

My loft insulation is decades old. Does it need replacing?

If it’s dry and clean, a top-up may be enough. If it’s dusty, damp or soiled, it should come out.

Is the loft check free?

Yes, with no obligation.

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.
