Loft problems we see in Thornton

Semis are 50% of homes in Thornton. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.

12% of homes in Thornton are terraces. Older terrace lofts often have no roof felt, gaps through the party walls and insulation pushed into the eaves, which is a recipe for damp timber.

With 44% owning outright, many people in Thornton have lived with the same loft for years. Insulation level with the joists is a sign it’s time to look.

Signs that something is wrong up there include cables buried out of sight under insulation, drips on nails on frosty mornings or boxes sitting straight on the insulation. Any one of them is worth a free check.
