Problem lofts fixed in Ramsbottom

What goes wrong in Ramsbottom lofts

30% of the housing in Ramsbottom is semi-detached. When we open those hatches we often find cables buried under old insulation and eaves packed tight.

30% of homes in Ramsbottom 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.

With 44% owning outright, many people in Ramsbottom have lived with the same loft for years. Insulation level with the joists is a sign it’s time to look.

Worth checking in a Ramsbottom loft: grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring, cables buried out of sight under insulation or insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists. Any one of them is worth a free check.
