What goes wrong in Pontefract lofts

With 49% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Pontefract have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.

Terraced houses are 15% 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.

Signs that something is wrong up there include insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists, water marks on the ceiling under the loft or droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.
