What Birtley lofts usually need
With 41% of households in semis, we often find boards nailed straight to the joists with thin, squashed insulation underneath.
About a third of homes here are terraces (32%). Older ones may have roofs without felt, which makes airflow at the eaves important.
On the visit we note the headroom where a storage floor could go, whether the old insulation is dry and clean and the depth of the insulation in a few places. Then every part goes in the quote with its own price.
