What goes wrong in Runcorn lofts

Semi-detached houses make up 33%. A frequent find: a bathroom fan blowing into the loft and black spots on the rafters above it.

Terraces account for 36% of Runcorn’s homes. Where party walls stop short in the loft, warm air, smells and pests pass between houses; we close the gaps on your side.

Things that tell us a loft needs attention: black spots on the rafters or felt, eaves packed so tight no daylight shows or spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof. Any one of them is worth a free check.
