Common loft faults here

With 36% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Westhoughton have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.

22% 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.

Signs that something is wrong up there include spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof, drips on nails on frosty mornings or a cold draught round the loft hatch. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.
