Loft services in Aberystwyth
What goes wrong in Aberystwyth lofts
Flats are 38% of homes here. If damp is coming through your top-floor ceiling, the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree to work in the loft above.
About a quarter of homes here are terraced (25%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.
38% of households rent privately. Condensation from drying clothes indoors often ends up in the loft; landlords can book a check.
Before you book, have a look for a cold draught round the loft hatch, insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists or eaves packed so tight no daylight shows. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.
