Common loft faults here
44% of the housing in Prudhoe is semi-detached. When we open those hatches we often find cables buried under old insulation and eaves packed tight.
22% of homes in Prudhoe 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.
Signs that something is wrong up there include a cold draught round the loft hatch, black spots on the rafters or felt or droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.
