What goes wrong in Rawtenstall lofts
Terraced houses are 42% 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.
About a quarter of homes here are semi-detached (26%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.
If you can get into the loft, look out for eaves packed so tight no daylight shows, drips on nails on frosty mornings or black spots on the rafters or felt. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Rawtenstall: questions
What type of home is most common in Rawtenstall?
Terraced houses, at 42% of households in the 2021 Census, then semi-detached houses at 26%.
There are boards nailed straight onto my joists. Is that bad?
It usually means the insulation underneath is squashed. We lift the boards, fix the insulation and put storage back on a raised floor.
Can mice get in from next door?
In terraces they often travel along the eaves. We seal the gaps on your side and clear out spoiled insulation.
I live just outside Rawtenstall. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Haslingden, Bacup, Accrington, Ramsbottom and Oswaldtwistle are covered too. Every town we list in Lancashire.
Will my house get dusty?
We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.
How do I know if my insulation needs replacing?
It’s thin, grey, damp, stained or has droppings in it, or there’s a musty smell.
