Loft problems we see in Worsley
46% of homes in Worsley are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.
About one in eight of homes here are terraced (15%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.
44% 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 droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation, grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring or spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Worsley: questions
What type of home is most common in Worsley?
Semi-detached houses, at 46% of households in the 2021 Census, then detached houses at 32%.
There are boards nailed straight onto my joists. Is that bad?
It usually means the insulation underneath is squashed. We lift the boards, fix the insulation and put storage back on a raised floor.
I live just outside Worsley. Is that covered?
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.
How do I know if my insulation needs replacing?
It’s thin, grey, damp, stained or has droppings in it, or there’s a musty smell.
Will my house get dusty?
We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.
