With 44% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Skipton. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.

27% of the housing in Skipton is semi-detached. When we open those hatches we often find cables buried under old insulation and eaves packed tight.

Private renting is common in Skipton (21%). The loft is easy for landlords to forget until damp shows through a ceiling.

Before you book, have a look for spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof, drips on nails on frosty mornings or droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation. Any one of them is worth a free check.
