What goes wrong in Stratton St Margaret lofts

With 50% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Stratton St Margaret have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.

About one in five of homes here are terraced (19%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.

41% 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.

Signs that something is wrong up there include spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof, water marks on the ceiling under the loft or a musty smell as the hatch opens. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.
