Loft problems we see in West End
Detached homes, 41% here, often have larger, newer lofts. Squashed insulation round the hatch and blocked eaves are the usual snags.
About a quarter of homes here are semi-detached (27%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.
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.
If you can get into the loft, look out for cables buried out of sight under insulation, eaves packed so tight no daylight shows or drips on nails on frosty mornings. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.
