What goes wrong in Sale lofts
With 42% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Sale have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.
About one in five of homes here are terraced (20%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.
Signs that something is wrong up there include droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation, water marks on the ceiling under the loft or a cold draught round the loft hatch. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Sale: questions
What type of home is most common in Sale?
Semi-detached houses, at 42% of households in the 2021 Census, then flats at 22%.
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.
I live just outside Sale. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Stretford, Altrincham, Wythenshawe, Urmston and Old Trafford are covered too. Every town we list in Trafford.
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.
Do you work for landlords in Sale?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
