Common loft faults here
With 39% of homes detached, eaves on every side need to stay clear so the roof can breathe.
About one in five of homes here are semi-detached (21%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.
Before you book, have a look for droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation, eaves packed so tight no daylight shows or spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.
