Common loft faults here
Semi-detached houses make up 40%. A frequent find: a bathroom fan blowing into the loft and black spots on the rafters above it.
With 19% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Wakefield. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.
If you can get into the loft, look out for drips on nails on frosty mornings, boxes sitting straight on the insulation or grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring. Any one of them is worth a free check.

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.
Can I keep storing things in the loft?
Yes, on a floor raised above the insulation so it isn’t squashed.
