Problem lofts fixed in Radcliffe

What goes wrong in Radcliffe lofts

37% of the housing in Radcliffe is semi-detached. When we open those hatches we often find cables buried under old insulation and eaves packed tight.

With 34% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Radcliffe. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.

Private renting is common in Radcliffe (21%). The loft is easy for landlords to forget until damp shows through a ceiling.

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