- Seeing roof bracings and other important roof components being sawn through is shocking but quite a common find on a snagging inspection.
- Straps are often not secured to the bracings at all, or are poorly attached to the gable walls as shown in the example from today’s inspection.
Tucking the insulation to the eaves is a very common shortfall we find and heat loss is evident as a result as shown by the thermal image.
Similarly, it is quite common for us to find the wrong insulation being used on party walls. This image below shows a party wall as seen from the loft which has been retro-fitted with no cavity socks; it should have acoustic insulation all the way down to prevent noise issues.
