Loft problems we see in Royton

41% of homes in Royton are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.

30% of households here live in terraced houses, many with slate roofs and no felt. Those lofts need airflow, so insulation must stop short of the eaves.

40% of households own outright, so plenty of lofts here were insulated decades ago. Old insulation that has settled, got dusty or been nested in is worth replacing.

If you can get into the loft, look out for insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists, droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation or grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Royton: questions

What type of home is most common in Royton?

Semi-detached houses, at 41% of households in the 2021 Census, then terraced houses at 30%.

My loft insulation is decades old. Does it need replacing?

If it’s dry and clean, a top-up may be enough. If it’s dusty, damp or soiled, it should come out.

I live just outside Royton. Is that covered?

Yes. Nearby places such as Shaw, Oldham, Chadderton, Middleton and Lees are covered too. Every town we list in Oldham.

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.

Will my house get dusty?

We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.

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.
