Loft problems we see in West Kirby

With 32% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in West Kirby have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.

15% of households here live in terraced houses, many with slate roofs and no felt. Those lofts need airflow, so insulation must stop short of the eaves.

47% of homes are owned outright. Long ownership often means a loft nobody has looked in for years, with whatever problems have built up.

Things that tell us a loft needs attention: drips on nails on frosty mornings, grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring or a musty smell as the hatch opens. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

My loft insulation is decades old. Does it need replacing?

If it’s dry and clean, a top-up may be enough. If it’s dusty, damp or soiled, it should come out.
