Loft insulation removal and repairs in Penwortham

Common loft faults here

Semis are 53% of homes in Penwortham. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.

With 11% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Penwortham. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.

Many households here (44%) own outright. Lofts that were insulated back when they moved in are often thin, dusty and due a look.

Things that tell us a loft needs attention: insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists, spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof or a musty smell as the hatch opens. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.
