Common loft faults here
50% of homes in Swinton are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.
About one in eight of homes here are terraced (16%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.
If you can get into the loft, look out for boxes sitting straight on the insulation, insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists or grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.
