Common loft faults here
39% of the housing in Marple is semi-detached. When we open those hatches we often find cables buried under old insulation and eaves packed tight.
21% of homes in Marple 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.
Many households here (46%) own outright. Lofts that were insulated back when they moved in are often thin, dusty and due a look.
Worth checking in a Marple loft: grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring, droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation or water marks on the ceiling under the loft. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.
