Common loft faults here

Semis are 50% of homes in Prestwich. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.

19% of homes in Prestwich 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.

Worth checking in a Prestwich loft: a musty smell as the hatch opens, boxes sitting straight on the insulation or a cold draught round the loft hatch. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.
