Loft problems we see in Lytham St Anne's

About a quarter of homes here are semi-detached (29%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.

Terraced houses are 14% 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.

Flats are 33% of homes here. If damp is coming through your top-floor ceiling, the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree to work in the loft above.

In Lytham St Anne's, 22% of homes are privately rented. Tenants spotting damp on top-floor ceilings should tell the landlord, who can arrange a check.

46% 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.

If you can get into the loft, look out for boxes sitting straight on the insulation, droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation or insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.
