What goes wrong in Macclesfield lofts
28% of homes in Macclesfield are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.
Terraced houses are 32% 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.
If you can get into the loft, look out for spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof, eaves packed so tight no daylight shows or water marks on the ceiling under the loft. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Macclesfield: questions
What type of home is most common in Macclesfield?
Terraced houses, at 32% of households in the 2021 Census, then semi-detached houses at 28%.
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.
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.
I live just outside Macclesfield. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Wilmslow, Poynton, Bramhall, Congleton and Hazel Grove are covered too. Every town we list in Cheshire East.
Do you work for landlords in Macclesfield?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
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.
