Loft problems we see in Swinton
53% of the housing in Swinton is semi-detached. When we open those hatches we often find cables buried under old insulation and eaves packed tight.
With 25% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Swinton. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.
If you can get into the loft, look out for a cold draught round the loft hatch, insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists or droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Swinton: questions
What share of homes in Swinton are houses?
88% are houses or bungalows; 12% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
Can I keep storing things in the loft?
Yes, on a floor raised above the insulation so it isn’t squashed.
Can’t you just put new insulation on top?
Not over damp, soiled or mouldy insulation. That hides the problem. We fix the cause first.
I rent in Swinton and there’s damp in the loft. What do I do?
Tell your landlord, who is responsible for the building. Council and housing association tenants should report it to their repairs team. Landlords can book a loft check with us.
