Problem lofts fixed in Northampton

Loft problems we see in Northampton

Semis are 29% of homes in Northampton. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.

29% of homes in Northampton 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.

24% of households rent privately. Condensation from drying clothes indoors often ends up in the loft; landlords can book a check.

Worth checking in a Northampton loft: water marks on the ceiling under the loft, spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof or grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring. Any one of them is worth a free check.
