Common loft faults here

With 41% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Melksham have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.

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.

Signs that something is wrong up there include droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation, eaves packed so tight no daylight shows or a musty smell as the hatch opens. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.
